Data Science & Metadata Research
To be discoverable by today’s online users, traditional library data must be transformed. OCLC Research analyzes bibliographic data to derive new meaning, insights, and services for use by library and information seekers. This work includes special projects in metadata enrichment, authorities & identities, linked data, subjects & classification, and data analysis.
