This conceptualization of the scholarly record and its stakeholder ecosystem can serve as a common point of reference in discussions within and across domains, and help cultivate the shared understanding and collaborative relationships needed to identify, collect, and make accessible the wide range of materials the scholarly record is evolving to include.

We’re also generating work-translation ("expression level") records—including the translated title and translator with links to the original work and the author—and adding them to VIAF <http://viaf.org/> (Virtual International Authority File), flagged as "xR". At the same time, we’re marking up these generated VIAF records using linked data schema so that the relationship of each work with their associated translations and translators can be shared in the Semantic Web. See Karen Smith-Yoshimura’s Challenges posted by translations <http://hangingtogether.org/?p=3878> HangingTogether blog post, our news announcement <http://www.oclc.org/research/news/2014/06-02.html> and activity page <http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/multilingual-bib-structure.html> for more information about this work. _____ Issue 12 of OCLC Research Quarterly Highlights available This periodic bulletin gathers items from the previous quarter of work in OCLC Research <http://www.oclc.org/research.html> , the OCLC Innovation Lab <http://www.oclc.org/research/innovationlab.html> , and the OCLC Research Library Partnership <http://www.oclc.org/research/partnership.html> .
