Abstract

A new system is proposed to design and format bibliographic information using linked open data and semantic technology. Two ontological models are presented. The first one is based on the bibliographic ontology LD4L. The second one is the new ontology BiblioOntology, designed to categorize by subject the resources of a university library. Using either ontology, users can publish linked open data (LOD) and to categorize a resource from its MARCXML. It also allows users to query the information by various criteria and enrich it with criteria from external sources. Finally, it serves as a provider to other sources, through a Sparql Point  service. The main contribution of the system is its usefulness for the integration, distribution, reuse, and open use of the bibliographic resources of a university library. The system is currently in use at the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (UPSA), but it could be used by any university library. http://dataupsa.upsa.es
