Break On Through to the Other Side: The Library and Linked Data
(Toronto Association of Law Libraries, 2011-03-15) Knight, F. Tim
This article will discuss the barriers that exist between our bibliographic data and other data available on the World Wide Web. The isolation of this bibliographic data is a problem that impacts on the successful integration of the library catalogue into the potential semantic Web of the future. It will look at two available data models for bibliographic data and introduces the Resource Description Framework (RDF) which has emerged as the preferred data model for enabling linked data on the Web. The article concludes with a brief look at some current activities related to linked data that are occurring as part of the development of Resource Description and Access (RDA).

Cataloguing Rules!: The Road to RDA
(Toronto Association of Law Libraries, 2009-05) Knight, F. Tim
Resource Description and Access (RDA) emerged out of a planned revision and updating of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2). This initiative hopes to transform cataloguing standards so they stay relevant with the flexibility needed to adapt to the contemporary information environment. This paper looks at the development of this new standard and the need for a new cataloguing standard in the 'digital world.'

A Conversation on the Semantic Web and Legal Information
(2014-06-04) Knight, F. Tim; Sutherland, Sarah
Have you been wondering "What's next" with technology; or perhaps what APIs, open government data, linked data or the semantic web will ever mean for law libraries? This workshop will give participants an overview of the emerging linked data and semantic web in the context of legal information aimed at an audience with little pre-existing understanding of the subject. We will start with a high level discussion of the theory behind data creation and manipulation, with demonstrations of public and closed sources for data such as APIs and open government datasets, linked data particularly, and the semantic web generally – what it is, how it has developed so far, examples of related legal projects, and some ideas about its implications for legal resources. This will be followed by a facilitated discussion of the anticipated impacts for legal research, publication, software development, and the practice of law. These emerging developments are important because they have the potential to create both opportunities and disruption in many areas of interest to CALL/ACBD members, including public service roles and those in related data fields like cataloguing and legal database development.

KF Modified and the Classification of Canadian Common Law
(Canadian Association of Law Libraries, 2009-03) Knight, F. Tim
This article was inspired by a previous article written by Vincent DeCaen in an earlier issue of CLLR. It explores classification, the different approaches taken by KF Modified and LC Class KE, and the role KF Modified has had in organizing collections in Canadian law libraries. It argues that there is no right or wrong way to classify legal resources and suggests that KF Modified can benefit cataloguing workflow and is well suited to both the Canadian and common law library environments.

RDA: Coming to a Library Near You
(2012-05-08) Knight, F. Tim; Furey, Darren J.
RDA (Resources Description and Access) is a new way to support resource discovery focusing on user tasks in the digital age. RDA, the new cataloguing guidelines have been developed, tested and are set to be implemented in March 2013. As we shift away from AACR2 preparation for training is underway and cataloguing records created using the new rules will start to appear in your library catalogues. F. Tim Knight and Darren J. Furey guide you through the changes you can expect to see including an overview of FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) the conceptual model that underlies the structure of RDA.

Resource Description and Access: From AACR to RDA
(Canadian Association of Law Libraries, 2011) Knight, F. Tim
The new cataloguing guidelines Resource Description and Access (RDA) have recently been released and are set to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. An evaluation period led by the Library of Congress is currently underway and it is likely that the implementation of RDA will begin sometime in mid-2011. This paper looks briefly at the origins of RDA, provides a high level overview of RDA and reviews some of the major differences that cataloguers and library users can expect to find between RDA and AACR2.

Visualizing Linked Data
(2012-08-05) Knight, F. Tim
This presentation aims to contribute to a better understanding of linked data in the law library environment. Linked data is a different way for our bibliographic data to interact with the data available on the Web. It has the potential to enhance the information we already provide, make it easier for us to provide that information and allow libraries to integrate themselves better with other information sources on the web. The main concepts of linked data are introduced the potential for law librarians to begin contributing in this area is considered.
