Talk Title: "Data Science Research and Development at OCLC"
This presentation will survey projects now underway that use data-science solutions to address users’ perceptions that library metadata is noisy, redundant, and not entirely fit for purpose. Data quality has always been a research interest at OCLC. But in today’s environment, this work is more urgent because it is being conducted as library resource description is undergoing a generational change.

Jean Godby is a Senior Research Scientist at OCLC. She has spent over twenty-five years exploring data-oriented research interests in library metadata standards, schema mapping and transformation, exchange between libraries and publishers, knowledge discovery, and new models of resource description. Jean currently leads a team of researchers and engineers on projects featuring data science and linked data. Jean has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Ohio State University.
