English abstract

In 2011, the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) launched the Data.bnf research and development project to meet 3 main goals: to bring together in a single portal the data produced with different formats of the catalogue and the various applications of the BNF, to increase its visibility and promote its reuse by applying the technologies of the semantic web and to experiment a new way of structuring information based on IFLA's conceptual models, thus foreshadowing the catalogue of the future. The contribution aims to trace the innovations that are partially appreciable and partially in the process of being implemented by Data.bnf, which, while remaining stable in its primary goals, has continued to evolve to improve accessibility and functions and adapt to the needs of users.

Italian abstract

Nel 2011 la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) ha lanciato il progetto di ricerca e sviluppo Data.bnf per rispondere a 3 obiettivi principali: riunire in un unico portale i dati prodotti con formati diversi del catalogo e dei vari applicativi della BnF, aumentarne la visibilità e favorirne il riutilizzo applicando le tecnologie del web semantico e sperimentare un nuovo modo di strutturare l’informazione basato sui modelli concettuali dell’IFLA, prefigurando così il catalogo del futuro. Il contributo si propone di ripercorrere le innovazioni in parte già apprezzabili e in parte in fase di realizzazione di Data. bnf, che pur rimanendo stabile nei suoi obiettivi primari ha continuato a evolversi per migliorare l’accessibilità e le funzioni e adattarsi alle esigenze degli utenti.
