New published paper
The National Library of Greece (NLG) has been actively adapting its
policies, workflows, and tools to make its data LD-ready.
Within this context, NLG has developed -in cooperation with Open Knowledge
Greece- an entity management prototype using RDA/RDF in a Wikibase
instance.
The vision is to build a shared entity management system used by all memory
institutions in Greece to describe entities of Greek interest.

Abstract
The force driving the implementation of Linked Data (LD) technologies in
libraries is the aspiration for widespread interoperability of library data
and for advanced information services. Toward these goals, libraries change
their data models, update their communication formats, and develop
prototype applications that use new models and formats and enable
entity-based cataloguing. The National Library of Greece (NLG) has been
actively adapting its policies, workflows, and tools to make its data
LD-ready. Within this context, NLG has developed -in cooperation with Open
Knowledge Greece- an entity management prototype using RDA/RDF in a
Wikibase instance. The vision is to build a shared entity management system
used by all memory institutions in Greece to describe entities of Greek
interest. Data is to be stored as a knowledge graph that can be exported in
RDF serializations, and in legacy MARC format. This paper first examines
related efforts from other National Libraries, and then outlines the steps
involved in the publication of the NLG Authority File as linked data;
namely dataset selection, modeling, data curation, mapping, and
publication. The development of the NLG entity management prototype is also
presented. The paper concludes with challenges, lessons learned, and next
steps.
