OCLC RWO URIs
Benn
Catalogers have reported that OCLC is enriching MARC records with RWO URIs.
Folks that have access to the sandbox, there is a set named BC All titles, RWO URI for viewing records containing OCLC linked data enhancements
Paloma - opportunity to reach out to Anne Washington (ex University of Houston Metadata librarian) to learn more about OCLC entities and the entities editor Meridian
Meeting with the OCLC reps a while back, they commented about additional linked data features coming to Connexion
Questions regarding which one is the URI creating this info card – the card indicates LCNAF and Wikidata as source. The record has a wikidata URI in the 100. The documentation indicates that this feature is currently only working with authorities connected to LCNAF. It seems like this is currently driven by the controlled fields in Alma that have an authority in alma with LC IDs on the 035
Unfortunately the feature is not yet ready to leverage the work that has been done to add wikidata URIs in the catalog
iSchool Capstone conclusion

Report summary, Q/A
Rachel considers that she did not say anything new, but as an outsider she was able to build on the common threads that she was hearing
Some of the current areas that UT has been working for experimentation, should also be priority – special collections
Communicating scope is important – what is the message?
Pulling people in is time consuming, but engagement is very relevant to gain a critical mass
Hanlin
Comes from a computer science background
Main interest in where the information comes from, how is that data flowing between systems and how is that provenance documented
Melanie – How do you use AI in your project?
Created transcripts from the zoom recordings of the interviews and used ChatGPT to create summaries
Katie has worked with capstone students to clean up a large dataset of architectural buildings using LRM
Connections between AI and linked data
Melanie expects to use the report for prioritizing the work of this group
Poster session Monday 4/29, 3-4:30pm, McCombs Hall of Honors
No registration needed – also includes undergrad students capstones

Workshop schedule - Day 1 (5/21) @10-11:30
Melanie, Katie, Yogita, Paloma met yesterday to start discussing the workshop implementation
Condensing the 2 sessions into one, and adapting to in person
Need to keep an eye in the room we are being assigned to anticipate what number of participants we can expect
We expect that the range of skills will be different in TCDL

Goals to discuss during the June meeting (since May will mostly focused on TCDL)
