For the creation of a NEW bibliographic universe!

The integration of services offered by the two platforms generates a new and innovative universe of information in which one can:

• create/modify records of any cataloguing environment in use and update them in the FOLIO Inventory utilizing the available API
• integrate different ontologies in addition to BIBFRAME
• create identity clusters (agents, works, instances, …) enriched with data coming from external sources (VIAF, Wikidata, FAST, …)
• foster Cluster Knowledge Base, that is a library’s entity sets in a database, with data that has been enriched and converted into Linked Data
• export records from the LOD system in in one of the formats supported by the library
• create and modify the entities of the Cluster Knowledge Base with J. Cricket, editing tool that extends the authority functions through the integration of external sources (Wikidata, ISNI, …)
• benefit from API REST and GraphQL to interrogate the database
• publish data on Entity Discovery web portal, equipped with user-adjustable interface
