Item Collaborative Exploration of the Newest DSpace: Updates from the TDL DSpace 7 Task Force(Texas Digital Library, 2023-05-18) Park, Kristi; Lyon, ColleenThe long-anticipated release of DSpace version 7 has arrived. With support ending Summer 2023 for older versions, the TDL DSpace User Group put together a task force to collaborate on testing and documentation. Members of the DSpace 7 Upgrades Task Force, representing several TDL member institutions, will discuss the process of organizing a multi-organization working team, testing new software features, and planning for migrations of their institutional repositories. How do libraries from different university systems work together in testing and documenting DSpace 7 features for their own IRs and those of others? How can the experiences of this task force be applied to other consortial efforts around software upgrades?Item Session 3D | Evaluation and Adaptation: How Change Allowed Us to Thrive(Texas Digital Library, 2022-04-25) Speer, ElizabethAs a participant in the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) Wikidata Pilot, Texas A&M University (TAMU) created linked data in the Wikidata platform for a selected sample of mechanical engineering students, their doctoral dissertations and faculty advisors. This presentation will provide an overview of how an inter-departmental team of four cataloging/metadata librarians and one curator used tools such as OpenRefine and Mix’n’Match to populate Wikidata with metadata from OAKTrust, the TAMU institutional repository, as well Scholars.tamu.edu, its VIVO database of faculty member profiles. It will also describe efforts to manually enhance the items that were created and issues that were encountered, as well as experimentation with SPARQL queries to demonstrate the value of the transformed data. Finally, this presentation will cover potential implications that Wikidata may have for library workflows regarding the management and disambiguation of persons and other entities in the TAMU Libraries’ catalog and institutional repository.
