titleAbout the Cartographic Materials project

Harvard will create native Linked Data descriptions for a selection of library cartographic resources including printed maps, atlases, digital geospatial datasets, and other cartographic information resources. 

Together with LD4L-Labs partners, Harvard will convert a set of Harvard Geospatial Library metadata records into linked data descriptions.

Harvard Project Proposal

Note: Documentation, ontology files, and data being created to support the Cartographic Materials extension project are available at the LD4P Cartographic Materials GitHub repository

titleDeliverables
  • Set of natively cataloged BIBFRAME descriptions for a variety of cartographic resource types using the cartographic materials extension ontology.
  • Develop a set of mapping rules for Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) geospatial metadata standards to linked data.
  • A set of Harvard Geospatial Library metadata records converted to linked open data using the cartographic materials extension.

Data conversion

  • Converted a set of 8,800 Harvard Geospatial Library and 5,100 Stanford Earthworks geospatial metadata records to the target geospatial LOD ontology
  • Reconciled agent names, topic keywords, places of publication, and place keywords to linked data entities in the converted data sets
  • Data loaded into Harvard geospatial data instance of VitroLib Initial geospatial metadata conversion meeting of LD4L-Labs Partners (3/2017)
