2014年初ALA仲冬会议上,加州大学戴维斯分校 Michael Colby 介绍该馆刚得到IMLS资助为期两年的项目“编目再发明:未来图书馆运作模式”(Reinventing Cataloging: Models for the Future of Library Operations)(ALA 2014仲冬会议中的BIBFRAME,2014-2-5)。算一下的话,项目应该在2016年初完成。
当时没有BIBFLOW这个名称。在IMLS网站,无论是“BIBFLOW”还是“Reinventing Cataloging”都查不到。通过校名,查到2013财政年度的这个项目(金额$493,619) :LG-06-13-0201-13 Program: National Leadership Grants for Libraries
The University of California Davis University Library will investigate the future of academic research library technical services by assessing the current landscape and developing a roadmap for strategic planning and investments in the coming years. This roadmap can be continuously updated as new data models, standards, workflows, and practices emerge and evolve. Currently, complex workflows and interdependent systems have constrained academic libraries from fully leveraging the benefits and efficiencies of modern technological infrastructures. This research study will include acquisitions, licensing, cataloging, processing, digitization, and newly identified areas that will encourage using technological resources.
虽然并未提到BIBFRAME,但应该就是BIBFLOW项目了(研究性大学图书馆技术服务的未来)。而其中提到的Roadmap,也终于在2017年3月14日完成,并于日前在项目网站发布,悄悄地。一直关注此项目的 Jeff Edmunds 本月初在 BIBFRAME 邮件组发布了消息。 BIBFLOW: A Roadmap for Library Linked Data Transition (Prepared 14 March, 2017) / MacKenzie Smith, Carl G. Stahmer , Xiaoli Li, Gloria Gonzalez
