Schema Bib Extend Community Group

The mission of this group is to discuss and prepare
proposal(s) for extending Schema.org schemas for the
improved representation of bibliographic information
markup and sharing. The group will seek consensus
around, and support for, proposal(s) to the W3C
WebSchemas Group. This Community Group will not,
itself, produce technical specifications.
What can it do for libraries?
OCLC ‘Perceptions of Libraries, 2010’
Where Are Our Users?
Bibliotheque Nationale de France
Report that over 80% of their users come
from a search engine.
UTL Strategic Plan
“We will provide leadership in the library and
archives community to address profound
changes taking place in the scholarly
environment, and will be a partner of choice for
the University’s world class researchers who
impact the world through the furthering of
knowledge discovery and the development of
new ideas.”
Charting our Future: A Strategic Plan for the University of Toronto Libraries 2013-2018.
Schema.org and Libraries
• We need to be where our users are.
• Google does not understand: MARC,
ISBD, RDA, Z39.50, etc.
• Google does understand Schema.org
• Let’s start playing together!
Thank you!
