Hi Cindy,

Deduping can happen in any number of ways, but making use of shared identifiers is the preferred way to address this issue. You could adopt a shared identifier or you can an indicate that your Thing is the same as a this other Thing. In schema.org's vocabulary, you'd use schema:sameAs [1] to achieve the latter. Short of a shared identifier, it becomes an exercise in comparing attributes (labels, other details) between two Things to determine sameness. It's best to make use of a shared identifier when possible.

When it comes to the bibframe/schema distinction, this will work itself out in time. For a variety of reasons, organizations may choose to use Bibframe as a more library-specific vocabulary but publish the data for general consumption (read: for Google and others) in the schema.org vocabulary. If, over time, large volumes of data are published using the Bibframe vocabulary, and Google (or other engines) see a benefit to consuming Bibframe directly, then that's what they'll do.

Whether Bibframe or schema, invoking shared identifiers will be more important to deduping entities than the vocabulary used.

Best,
Kevin

Forgive me if I'm confusing schema.org and Bibframe, but I wonder how Google is 
going to dedupe all the sources of a given document/material when many 
libraries have their holdings in bibframe?  These sample searches made me 
wonder about that again.  has this been discussed?

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Structured Data Markup on library web sites

I worked on the addition of schema.org data to the Bryn Mawr Classical
Reviews. Although I advised doing a "before and after" test to see how
it affected retrieval, I lost touch with the folks before that could
happen. However, their reviews do show up fairly high in Google, around
the 3-5th place on page one. Try these searches:

Hello,

I'm looking for examples of library web sites or university web sites that are 
using Structured Data / schema.org to mark up books, locations, events, etc, on 
their public web sites or blogs. I'm NOT really looking for huge linked data 
projects where large record sets are marked up, but more simple SEO practices 
for displaying rich snippets in search engine results.

If you have examples of library or university websites doing this, please send 
me a link!

Thank you,
Jennifer
