Enhancing Bibliographic Description with ScriptShifter and Parallelogram
Wednesday October 9, 2024 1:45pm - 2:30pm EDT
Zoom
ScriptShifter is an open-source tool developed by the Library of Congress for transliterating non-Latin scripts to Latin based on ALA-LC Romanization Tables, and vice versa in some cases. It supports cataloging for non-Latin materials and integrates with various library systems. In this session, we will demonstrate ScriptShifter and its integration with the "Parallelogram" Cloud App for Alma, which uses ScriptShifter's language rules and data from WorldCat and the NACO Authority File to create accurate parallel fields in bibliographic records. These applications utilize Linked Open Data principles to connect linked bibliographic descriptions, authority control, and vocabularies available via OCLC WorldCat and NACO Authority File, making the data discoverable across platforms and institutions and enhancing LOD efforts.
