Linked Data Bibliographic Description Based on User Search Behavior

Abstract

This study examines how librarians in Korean academic libraries perceive the usefulness of bibliographic enhancement data (BIBED) elements in cataloging tasks. Through a survey, it evaluates their perceptions of these elements' utility in scenarios involving searches for known items, unknown items, and related items. Additionally, by comparing various data models/metadata schemas, it proposes potential application profiles for book descriptions. This research highlights the importance of integrating user-centered elements into library catalogs and underscores the role of linked data technology in better meeting user needs.
