This assignment covers material presented in the first module of the BIBFRAME pilot training project at the Library of Congress. It consists of links to a brief reading and two videos for users to watch before answering several short essay questions. The subject matter concerns how Europeana has adopted a Semantic Web model for its data and, conversely, the Linked Jazz Project's use of library metadata to enhance its services.
