Presentations
Scholarly Resources Application Profile
Scholarly Resources Application Profile (SRAP) will enable description of scholarly resources, such as doctoral dissertations, Master’s thesis and scientific articles in different stages of the publication process (preprint, postprint etc.) by Dublin Core Metadata Terms. Following a proposal made by the National Library of Finland, DCMI Governing Board established SRAP working group in 2021.
The presentation describes the current status of the SRAP development process; new metadata terms that the working group has already discussed, examples of further extensions that have not been processed yet, and the role DCMI Usage Board will have in the approval process.
More information about the profile is available at https://github.com/dcmi/dc-srap.

From Machine Readable to Machine Reasoning - Information Transmutation at the National Library of Sweden
At the National Library of Sweden Linked Open Data is an integral part of our metadata strategy, striving for openness and interconnectedness. This presentation includes an introduction and overview of the development of our Linked Data infrastructure. Beginning with the transformation of Libris, the Swedish union catalogue, into a native RDF-system based on the BIBFRAME 2 vocabulary. Further exemplifying how we extend and adapt our own application vocabulary to connect internal and external systems and platforms. The vast amount of material in our collections has also made the emergence of KBLab a reality. Working in the forefront of advances in AI and NLP, we have been able to contribute to extended understanding of Swedish text and audio based material in a Machine Learning context. Rounding off with some possibilities and challenges we see in the future for our metadata development and automation.

Future directions of the Usage Board
The Usage Board undertook an extensive review of DCMI Metadata Terms for the publication of ISO 15836 Part 2 and is currently collaborating with the working group preparing a Scholarly Resources Application Profile (SRAP) for publication as a "DCMI-endorsed" profile. The board now needs to set priorities among other potential work areas, such as mappings to other namespaces (eg, Schema.org) and redesigned documentation (eg, to highlight the terms most frequently used in practice). The board must balance caution and stability against innovation and growth, both for its existing namespaces and for potential new namespaces under development in DCMI working groups.
