Share-VDE 2.0: a panel discussion among the Share-VDE working group chairs
Channel: LD4
Date: 22/07/2021

Speakers: Beth Picknally Camden, Erik Radio, Ian Bigelow, Jim Hahn, Filip Jakobson, Martin Knott

This panel will convene a diverse group of linked data professionals who serve as chairs of the Share-VDE working groups. The working groups include an Advisory Council (AC), Authority-Identifier Management Services (AIMS), Cluster Knowledge Base Editor (CKB), Sapientia Entity Identification (SEI), and a UX/UI group. The overall effect of combining their focus areas can be seen in the new Share-VDE 2.0 platform. Panelists will discuss how Share-VDE 2.0 implements an interoperable ecosystem of linked data structures and projects (e.g. LD4P/Sinopia) in part due to the information modeling that was completed by the SEI working group which sought to reference and implement interoperable BIBFRAME entity models. To manage such models a design of J.Cricket with the CKB editor WG was completed while incorporating services for the critical tasks of authority control with the AIMS WG. Panelists have contributed to the significant revision and enhancement of SVDE infrastructure including support for a re-visioning of the front end discovery interface that presents a next generation linked data discovery system, Share-VDE.
