Abstract
  • As libraries, archives, and museums (“LAMs”) adopt linked data for purposes of enhancing their bibliographic and authority metadata, the technologies around digital repositories also are similarly changing course to model digital objects using linked data standards such as RDF. This study explores the digital repository community's engagement and perceptions of linked data modeling. The study is split into two phases consisting of a web survey and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative analysis of the data summarizes key characteristics of the community of practice, and open problems in transitioning to linked data in the redesign of the Fedora storage and preservation architecture commonly used in digital repositories. Other areas of discussion include the perceived concerns in cross-walking MODS to RDF, as well as the community’s recommended implementation of the Portland Common Data Model (PCDM).
