How the Semantic Web, RDF and Linked Data semantically articulate relationships between entities to aggregate metadata components and enable users to find resources related to their research interests
The Bibliographic Framework (BibFrame) as an application of RDF and its potential as a replacement for MARC 21

Learning Objectives:

Describe the role of relationships in enabling resource acquisition
Identify technologies for articulating relationships in metadata
Assess the current status and potential of BibFrame as a replacement for MARC
