ALA Annual Conference 2019, Washington, D.C. Report by Karen Peters (Library of Congress), Chair, Encoding Standards Subcommittee MARC Advisory Committee Meetings (June 22 and 23) Over the course of two meetings, the MARC Advisory Committee (MAC) considered three Proposals–all derived from Discussion Papers presented at the Midwinter Meeting last January–and two Discussion Papers. All three of the Proposals passed. The first Discussion Paper will be fast-tracked, while the second will be coming back as a Proposal at the Midwinter Meeting next January. Besides these five items, there was an issue involving one of Proposals approved at the last Midwinter Meeting to be dealt with. MARC Proposal No. 2019-01: Designating Open Access and License Information for Remote Online Resources in the MARC 21 Formats. While MAC approved this Proposal at its 2019 Midwinter Meeting, the Proposal was not fully implemented due to issues involving the 856 (Electronic Location and Access) field.

ALA Annual 2019 Washington, DC Report by Tracey Snyder, Chair, MLA Cataloging and Metadata Committee (CMC) Linked Library Data Interest Group (abstract and bios available at this link) Saturday, June 22, 2019 Speakers: Erin Dobias, Metadata Librarian, Google Books; Jackie Shieh, Descriptive Data Management Librarian, Smithsonian Libraries; Robert Chavez, Senior Content Applications Architect, New England Journal of Medicine, and instructor of RDF and Linked Data courses for Library Juice Academy. The panelists (with some contributions from audience members) answered questions about their experiences interacting with and teaching about linked data. Question: How do you interact with linked data? Erin works with incoming metadata that is mostly MARC (but also some ONYX), with URIs showing up in some MARC. Jackie works with MARC for the most part, and some non-MARC, looking for URIs and writing scripts for SPARQL queries to transform the data to RDF and get it ready for BIBFRAME.
