Transforming MARC for a Linked Data Age
Title
Transforming MARC for a Linked Data Age
Description
Focusing on the transition of MARC to a linked data environment, this talk will summarize the Core Formats Transition Interest Group’s program during the 2025 ALA Core IG Week. Topics covered will include Ex Libris' efforts to facilitate MARC-to-linked-data workflows in Alma and Primo, the Library of Congress' "Modern MARC" initiative for better alignment with linked data, OCLC's approach to integrating linked data within MARC-based cataloging, and pedagogical strategies for teaching linked data to future librarians. These presentations will offer valuable insights, tools, and methodologies for libraries navigating the hybrid MARC and linked data environment, enhancing interoperability, discovery, and metadata quality in this evolving landscape. The session will conclude with a brief open discussion.
