Guidelines for Linked-Data-friendly MARC data

To inform relationships when MARC data is converted to Linked Data, it is preferable to:

• Use specific fields (e.g., specific 5xx fields, versus a generic 500 note)
• Use relationship designators

To create Linked Data from MARC bibliographic records, it is preferable to:

• Include URIs alongside controlled headings (rather than relying on strings or authority records)
