Linked Open Data - Discovery of Person Entity

From Ex Libris Release Notes:

With the integration of Linked Open Data (LOD), Primo VE can now associate records with LOD, specifically persons (such as authors and historical figures) and display this information in the UI. The person entities are based on LoC (Library of Congress) and are enriched with Wikidata.

NOTE

  • In this phase, person entities are linked only to local records that are linked to LCNAMES authorities.

  • The information gathered from the LoC and Wikidata is updated once weekly.

  • Currently, this functionality is supported in English only.

To support this functionality, the following changes were made to the UI:

  • Autocomplete Person – Person entity suggestions are now provided for search terms entered for simple and advanced searches. Selecting a suggestion opens the associated Person page.

  • Person Info Card – Displays the person's information in the Recommendations panel on the Full Display page if the record is associated with a linked person entity. Selecting the person's name in the card opens the Person page. A title may be associated with more than one person entity. In the following example, the book is linked with the author and the person about which the book was written.

  • Person page – Displays the person's information on a full page. In addition to the person's information, this page also includes the following sections, which enable users to discover titles associated with that person: Titles in Library Written by Person, Titles in Library Written about Person, and People Associated with Person.

(Additional Analytics and Configuration sections are included in the release notes.)
