# SamlaLibris

A small test [POC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_concept) connecting books using [Open Linked Data](https://vimeo.com/36752317) ==> start adding values... Today we see a lot of initiatives but when we check [LIBRIS XL a book](https://libris.kb.se/katalogisering/zh9m10b93jhxc4x) it is not linked and in [RAÄ a book](http://samla.raa.se/xmlui/handle/raa/6890) it is linked to a church in Wikipedia but no good user interface exist and its just a link or one link per object... compare Wikidata [Q61765464](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61765464) for the same book that also links the book to people mentioned in the book....



I see old organisations having problem using new technology as [grafdatabases](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vleFxDGoEs) and having an user community with the wrong skill matrix i.e. we get [Metadatadebt](https://twitter.com/salgo60/status/1188759411268997121?s=20) and the price we pay is data that is not FINDABLE/USABLE...



## Are we getting Digital RDF SILOS? 



In Sweden cultural people like [Digisam](http://www.digisam.se/linked-open-data/) has been speaking about Linked data since 2012 but I feel they miss a vision and dont have the right skill matrix. This is a [POC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_concept) what can be done if we move the [Riksantikvarieämbetet UGC](https://www.raa.se/hitta-information/k-samsok/anvandargenererat-innehall-ugc-hubben/) data to a modern platform with the possibilities to easier connect those books as sources for a grave.... we have the same problem with the National Library project [LIBRISXL](http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/kungliga_biblioteket/pressreleases/kb-becomes-the-first-national-library-to-fully-transition-to-linked-data-2573975) that also have the books in RDF but as "Strings not things" see picture below were "Riksantikvarieämbetet" is a string and not an object like Wikidata [Q631844](https://w.wiki/Bas) i.e. [#METADATADEBT](https://twitter.com/salgo60/status/1188759411268997121?s=20)...



Example how a book can be connected to people mentioned in the book on a modern platform like Wikidata with > [6800 properties](https://w.wiki/85n)

# POC Linked Books - what can be done in a day








Access LIBRIS and search for Svenska Kyrkor and extract items available from RAÄ Samla



 1) Search in LIBRIS is [ZSER:(Sveriges kyrkor)](http://libris.kb.se/xsearch?query=ZSER:(Sveriges%20kyrkor)&format=json&n=200)



 1-1) Check if RAÄ SAMLA has references to Wikipedia/Wikidata using [UGC](https://www.raa.se/hitta-information/k-samsok/anvandargenererat-innehall-ugc-hubben/)



 1-2) export data



 2) **Next step** use [Open Refine](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine) to Match items in Wikidata to find Objects for authors etc.. and upload to Wikidata



 2-1) Upload to Wikidata --> SAMLA books will be one object with references from the WD church object and same as with the authors of the books



# Usage

Python [get_libris_svenska_kyrkor.py](https://github.com/salgo60/SamlaLibris/blob/master/get_libris_svenska_kyrkor.py) --> [log](https://github.com/salgo60/SamlaLibris/tree/master/log)

* Output

 * [svenskakyrkor.csv](https://github.com/salgo60/SamlaLibris/blob/master/svenskakyrkor.csv)

   * contains LIBRIS information looks like the JSON doesnt contain page information see [unanswered question](https://kundo.se/org/librisxl/d/soka-fram-alla-kopplade-till-samlaraa-i-libris-xl/#c3195511)

 * [samlaWikidata.csv](https://github.com/salgo60/SamlaLibris/blob/master/samlaWikidata.csv)

   * contains UGC relations Samla <-> Wikidata



# Wikidata

* every book is an object in WD 

  * example Wikidata objekt [Q61723424](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61723424) is RAÄ Samla [6880](http://samla.raa.se/xmlui/handle/raa/6880) - see also [What links here](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Q61723424)

  * every book has one or more Main Topic [P921](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P921) that is the churches they describe or if a grave is described the buried person is linked

* every church gets a described by [P1343](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P1343) linking back to the book

## Wikidata queries

* [Map with churches described by RAÄ](https://goo.gl/UYCMXB)

* Linked data Graph of book [Riddarholmskyrkan](http://tinyurl.com/yyeoszcw) same as

    * [Projectboard RAÄ/Samla](https://github.com/salgo60/SamlaLibris/projects/1)

* RAÄ/UGC

   * No formal error reporting is used at RAÄ UGC so I sent a tweet to Abbe that I have a WD category with odd things [Category:P1260_Error](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Category:P1260_Error) - I guess either I update WD or they do redirect feels like some [Link rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot)

* LIBRIS XL 

  * has a [discussion group](https://kundo.se/org/librisxl/posts/) that is answered but lack a change process that you can follow

    * you get no error id

    * there is no public backlog

    * you get no notification when something is in production you have to ask every 6 months in the discussion group example [status federated search](https://kundo.se/org/librisxl/d/federated-sparql-fragor-hur-gor-man-och-vad-behovs/#c3199001)

    * JSON API is just available for LIBRIS and **not** LIBRIS XL

    * Riksantikvarieämbetet is a text string **rdfs:Literal** and not the correct linked data way **owl:sameAs** for more info about [ProvisionActivity](http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/bibframe.html#p_provisionActivityStatement) see [LIBRIS Data Model](https://libris.kb.se/wk2q9mn3z0g096kd)

    * its confirmed that pattern matching in URLS and labels is what we have today(2019-feb) and use old school LIBRIS API

      * Feels an odd approach to have such bad data when LIBRIS have invested in Linked Data building LIBRIS XL since [2012](https://librisbloggen.kb.se/2014/05/28/ny-katalog-nytt-format-pionjararbetet-med-libris-xl/)/[roadmap 2014](https://librisbloggen.kb.se/2014/06/08/uppdaterad-libris-roadmap-juni/).
