I am thinking of proposing a @swib lightning talk about JSON-LD and BIBFRAME metadata, in light of what has been learned about linkeddata here in the fedi, and also remembering Gregg Kellogg. If we legit want BIBFRAME to replace MARC as an interchange format, can we make it as easy to use as possible by people who don&#39;t really care about RDF? This should be possible now, given all the work that has been done on the vocabulary, right? But maybe this is too pedestrian and obvious? Others like #lobid have already talked about this years ago, so it&#39;s not like this is new, and others haven&#39;t tried. But maybe it&#39;s a good time to try again? Or maybe I just need to find the other people doing this, and help amplify their work? If you care about these niche topics I would be interested to hear from you.

@ink I like it. It might trigger some people to explore JSON-LD/Linked Open Usable Data with regard to #Bibframe where LOUD does not have much traction yet. Also, you can follow up nicely on @julsraemy's Tuesday talk "Linked Open Usable Data for Cultural Heritage: Community Building and Semantic Interoperability in Practice": https://forum.swib.org/t/linked-open-usable-data-for-cultural-heritage-community-building-and-semantic-interoperability-in-practice/1443 #swib25

@ink @swib Giving a lightning talk at SWIB would be an excellent way of finding other people (if any) who have been doing this. And I would love to hear your thoughts!
