Empowering libraries to meet the changing needs of their communities
Eric van Lubeek, Vice President, Global Library Services, and Managing Director, EMEA and APAC
現今的圖書館正面臨著快速變化的環境、不斷演變的使用者需求，以及與日俱增需要彰顯圖書館對於所屬機構與服務社群之存在價值的壓力。透過共享資料/數據、優化整合工作流程，並將資訊需求者連結至全球規模的圖書館資源與知識，OCLC的服務可以協助圖書館應對這些挑戰。Eric van Lubeek將於這個場次分享OCLC全球與亞太地區的最新消息，以及過去18個月以來OCLC完成的各項開發與進展，含括鏈結資料、機器學習，以及新世代的資料/數據分析服務。
Libraries today are faced with a rapidly changing environment, evolving user needs, and increased pressure to measure and communicate their impact to their stakeholders. OCLC services help libraries address these challenges by sharing data, streamlining workflows, and connecting people to the knowledge held in the world's library collections. During this session, Eric van Lubeek will share news of developments in both the APAC region and globally as well as exciting developments that have happened in the last 12-18 months, including news on linked data, machine learning, and new analytics services.

The next evolution of the information ecosystem: linked data, machine learning, and AI
Dr. Axel Kaschte, Product Strategy Director, OCLC EMEA and APAC
圖書館社群持續關注著促進知識創建與分享的新途徑。隨著出版品的數量和種類日漸增加 (尤其是各類新式的線上媒介/管道），詮釋資料和相關專業已比過往更加重要。OCLC長期致力且專注於利用鏈結資料相關技術帶來改變的可能性，不僅為圖書館館藏資料提供更優化的發現/探索與呈現方式，同時降低詮釋資料管理與庋藏之工作量。Axel Kaschte博士將於這個場次介紹OCLC近期於鏈結資料領域最重要的發展成果—WorldCat® Entities。這項服務可以無縫銜接圖書館開展的新式鏈結資料服務，同時亦可應用於現有以機讀格式為主的穩定環境。這將協助每個圖書館採取自有的步調，逐步適應新形態的詮釋資料管理工作，並引入人工智慧等新興科技。這些努力將可使圖書館資料開展為鏈結資料，更密切地與圖書館外部環境的知識流程交互連結，融入日常使用網路、智慧型裝置等情境，造福更多的使用者。
The continued focus of libraries is on new ways to facilitate both the creation and sharing of knowledge, and as the volume and variety of publications increases (especially using new online channels), metadata and metadata expertise is more important than ever. OCLC has been working with growing intensity to utilize the game-changing possibilities of linked data technologies to not only provide better ways to discover and represent the library material but also to do so with lower effort in curating the metadata e.g., by including a wider group of experts. In this presentation, Dr. Axel Kaschte will describe the state-of-the-art infrastructure called WorldCat® Entities, which allows a seamless addition of new services while maintaining the stability of existing services. This will help each library to gradually grow into using and benefiting from this new approach to metadata management including the use of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Evolving library data into linked data will help in freeing the knowledge contained in library collections and will connect it to the knowledge streams that inform our everyday lives—on the web, through smart devices, and reaching more users than before.
