The February Working Hour will feature two presentations:
Pascal Lefeuvre: Noemi at the Bibliothèque nationale de France
In 2017 the BnF has started the project of building a new software for
cataloguing its documents. In 2019, the BnF has decided to build the
software, called Noemi, on top of wikibase. Wikibase wil be used as an
enhanced database for managing and storing bibiographical data. The
presentation describes how Wikibase is used by Noemi and points out issues
the BnF will deal with in 2021.
Stacy Allison-Cassin: will talk about her use of Wikibase for describing
collections relating to Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit)
collections and recent work with IFLA.
Speaker bios:
Pascal Lefeuvre has been working for the IT department of the BnF as a
business analyst since 2012 mainly on digitization issues. Since 2017 has
also served as the Scrum master of the IT team on Noemi's Project. Anila
Angjeli and Benjamin Bober are Co-Project Manager for the national project
"Fichier national d'entités", aiming at buiding a platform to jointly
create and manage entities' metadata across libraries and other cultural
and research partners. It is lead by the two bibliographic agencies in
Frace : BnF and Abes (Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education). The
platform will use Wikibase as the basis for its technical infrastructure.
