We propose a method for a comprehensive listing of comics and manga authors by combining a VIAF dataset, which internationally shares authority information created in each country, and a national ...bibliography. Specifically, it combines the dataset based on the descriptions of VIAF and the set of comics and manga authors extracted from comic titles in the Japanese national bibliography. The proposed method revealed that there are Japanese comics and manga authors who are not recognized as such in the Japanese national bibliography and that comics written by many Japanese comics authors are distributed only in Japan.

Rad će predstaviti normativnu bazu NSK, njezin razvoj i ulogu u postizanju nacionalnoga bibliografskoga nadzora. Budući da je NSK od 2013. godine članica VIAF-a (Virtual International Authority ...File), prikazat će se osnovne značajke te virtualne međunarodne normativne baze, njezina svrha, struktura i najvažniji statistički podaci vezani uz zapise normativne baze NSK. Razmotrit će se uključenje identifikatora ISNI u normativnu bazu NSK. Rad donosi prikaz načina i svrhe korištenja Univerzalne decimalne klasifikacije za nacionalne autore u normativnoj bazi NSK kao i reviziju zapisa normativne baze u skladu s novim, skraćenim izdanjem UDK.
Međunarodni standardni broj imena (ISNI) nova je ISO norma, a služi za jedinstvenu identifikaciju javnih identiteta. Rad će predstaviti identifikator ISNI, načine njegove dodjele, sustav za ISNI i ...vrste članstva u ISNI-ju s naglaskom na suradništvo. Suradništvo je najzastupljenija vrsta članstva u svjetskim nacionalnim knjižnicama, a knjižnice ga ostvaruju članstvom u Virtualnoj međunarodnoj normativnoj bazi (VIAF). VIAF i ISNI su dva različita, ali i komplementarna sustava koji surađuju i nadopunjuju se, značajno pridonose i proširuju koncepte univerzalnoga bibliografskoga nadzora i normativnog nadzora, povećavaju mogućnost jedinstvene identifikacije javnih identiteta, a zahvaljujući svojim infrastrukturama dugoročno pružaju mogućnost suradnje s drugim identifikacijskim sustavima.

16 - Library metadata ontologies James Powell; Matthew Hopkins
A Librarian's Guide to Graphs, Data and the Semantic Web,
2015
Book Chapter
The Semantic Web is not a library. It is not even a catalog, per se. It is a way of representing, sharing, and linking with basic statements of fact about things. The granularity of the Semantic Web ...is not at the level at which libraries have been traditionally concerned with information. Libraries collected and described intellectual products that consist of some form of narrative, a book, a journal, a research paper, a movie, an album, or a song. More recently libraries have begun to assist scientists in cataloging their data sets. But the cataloging of individual facts was left to Webster’s, encyclopedias, survey papers, and the like. And yet it makes a great deal of sense to take the fine-grained descriptive data that libraries have meticulously crafted about these various objects, and generate Semantic Web data from it, because this represents knowledge. This chapter takes a look at the issues and challenges of publishing library metadata as Semantic Web data. It briefly reviews several applicable ontologies that have been used by various projects to create triples about bibliographic metadata and subject and author authority data. It also looks at a few Linked Open Data efforts that have been undertaken by libraries.
