Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

anbei leite ich Ihnen eine Information der Schriftführerin des JSC über den sog. Jane-athon weiter, der am 30. Januar 2015 beim ALA Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, Ill., stattgefunden hat.
Bei diesem „Hackathon“ wurde nicht programmiert, sondern unter Anwendung von RIMMF (RDA in Many Metadata Formats) Datensätze für RDA/FRBR-Entitäten für Werke von Jane Austen und damit in Beziehung stehenden Ressourcen aus MARC-21-Datensätzen importiert oder ganz neu erzeugt.

Als Ausgangsbasis standen 75 Entitäten für Jane Austen und ihre bekanntesten Werke sowie einige wenige Expressionen und Manifestationen zur Verfügung, zu denen die mehr als 60 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer in zweieinhalb Stunden unter professioneller Anleitung 126 Werke, 117 Expressionen, 134 Manifestationen, 240 Personen und 64 Körperschaften hinzufügten. Die Veranstaltung soll fortgesetzt werden.

Das JSC begrüßt diesen Beweis für die Fähigkeit von RDA ein breites Spektrum an Ressourcen zu beschreiben und dabei sauber modellierte Linked Data zu erzeugen. Gleichzeitig bietet der Jane-athon Gelegenheit zur Diskussion und für Feedback zur Weiterentwicklung von RDA.

Mit besten Grüßen
Susanne Oehlschläger

Betreff: [CATSMAIL] Jane-athon Success


[excuse cross-postings to other lists; this announcement has been posted to the JSC website:  http://www.rda-jsc.org/Jane-athon.html]



The world's first full Jane-athon took place January 30, 2015 in Chicago during ALA Midwinter. This hackathon for creating RDA linked data about the works of Jane Austen and related resources was attended by over 60 delegates from 55 institutions. Individually, or in clusters led by experienced, knowledgeable volunteers, the delegates used RIMMF (RDA in Many Metadata Formats) to create RDA/FRBR entity records from imported MARC 21 records or as born-RDA, and link them using RDA designators. RIMMF is an editor for data that conforms to RDA Toolkit and the RDA Registry.

From a starting base of 75 entities for Jane and her best-known Works, and just a few of their Expressions and Manifestations, Jane-athon players spent two and a half hours RIMMFing to add 126 Works, 117 Expressions, 134 Manifestations, 240 Persons, and 64 Corporate bodies to the RIMMF-ball. Coaches were on hand to provide tactical support, settle professional differences of opinion, and note down issues for later consideration by the JSC. They were kept busy. After the session, and lunch, everyone took part in a de-briefing to reflect on the experience, review the results, and look at the bigger picture. The RIMMF-balls of data from each contributor were merged into a super ball, and that was converted into an RDF-ball suitable for open linked data. Discussion on issues of duplication of RIMMF records for the same entity and the need for a shared infrastructure for RDA data creation and maintenance segued into consideration of the context of linked data and its accommodation of multiple points of descriptive view.

A wide range of Jane-related resources was brought by participants, from Sense and sensibility to Seamonsters and Zombies, from Jane dolls to tattoos and tea strainers, a small inkling of Austen's influence on cultural heritage and a real test of RDA's ability to describe all kinds of content and carrier.

During the pre-session warm-up, delegates were exhorted to have fun. They seem to have done just that: "Awesome!"; "Like trying to think about time travel"; "We'll need to talk more about relationships and where they belong"; "Cool and fun and nice" - you had to be there!

The JSC welcomes this demonstration of RDA's ability to describe a wide range of resources and produce well-formed linked data, and the opportunities a Jane-athon offers for discussion and feedback on ways of developing RDA.
