Data Integration

Getting stuff in and out, fitting it into the right holes

We all use standards.

• Marc• EDI • SIP2• ISO ILL• NCIP• Z39.50

Sometimes we all use the same ones.

Problem, what problem.

I just have an extra bit of information that needs to be added to ….

Standards evolve, but often they get extended to meet a local need.

And we work withSupplier X System YLibrary Z Council System A,B and C

And everyone enters the race at a different point.

You know that standard, well…..

Linguistic dexterity

Once upon a time computers were very scared of too much data. They liked the simple things in life and had a hard time understanding things quickly and it cost a lot to

remember much.

Now they are all-powerful, control the universe, juggle planets at the speed of light and eat galaxies of

information for breakfast.

Think teleordering to Web 2.0 Technology

Speaking in tongues

Data used to be obtuse in it’s encoding and mostly designed to be compressible for transportation

More room to talk and add meaning

If you include contextual information in the data it becomes far more flexible ( for a computer anyway).

XML ( EXtensible Mark up Language)

ONIX – Where does this fit in.

RDA – Hands up if you’ve heard of FRBR, then another if you have RDA on your radar
