schema.yaml

LinkML schema definition documenting the structure of library ISIL registry records after conversion to HeritageCustodian format.

Key classes:

• Location - Geographic location (city, country)
• Identifier - ISIL code structure (scheme, value, URL)
• Provenance - Data source and quality metadata

Enumerations:

• InstitutionTypeEnum - Always LIBRARY for this dataset
• LibraryTypeEnum - 5 specialized library types (national_library, public_library, etc.)
• DataSourceEnum - ISIL_REGISTRY
• DataTierEnum - TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE

mapping.yaml

Complete field-by-field mapping documentation showing how each CSV column transforms into LinkML YAML structure.

Covers:

• CSV structure (clean UTF-8, standard format)
• Field mappings with examples (4 CSV columns → LinkML attributes)
• Automated library type classification rules (5 types)
• Transformation rules (URL generation, description formatting)
• Data quality metrics (100% field preservation, 765 fields)
• Comparison with National Archive ISIL dataset

Dataset Characteristics

ISIL Code Format

• Pattern: NL-XXXXXXXXXX (10 digits after "NL-")
• Length: Uniform 13 characters
• Encoding: Numeric sequential (not semantic like National Archive)
• Examples:
  • NL-0100030000 - KB, nationale bibliotheek (Den Haag)
  • NL-0800070000 - OBA (Amsterdam)
  • NL-0700130000 - Zeeuwse Bibliotheken (Middelburg)

Library Network Structure

Library Type	Count	%	Description
Public Library	134	87.6%	Local community libraries
Library Automation System (POI)	11	7.2%	Regional library consortia
National Library Organization	5	3.3%	National service providers
Provincial Library Organization	2	1.3%	Provincial coordination
National Library	1	0.7%	KB (Koninklijke Bibliotheek)

Library Type Classification Rules

Automated classification using keyword matching:

1. National Library (1)

• Keyword: "KB, nationale bibliotheek" in csv_naam_bibliotheek
• Example: KB, nationale bibliotheek (Den Haag)

2. National Library Organization (5)

• Keywords: "Bibliotheekservice", "Bibliotheek Totaal" in csv_naam_bibliotheek
• Examples:
  • Bibliotheek Totaal (Zoetermeer)
  • Bibliotheekservice Fryslân (Leeuwarden)
  • Bibliotheekservice Overijssel (Deventer)

3. Provincial Library Organization (2)

• Keyword: "Provinciale" in csv_naam_bibliotheek
• Examples:
  • Provinciale Bibliotheekcentrale Zuid-Holland (Voorburg)
  • Provinciale Bibliotheek Centrale Noord-Brabant (Eindhoven)

4. Library Automation System (11)

• Keyword: "POI" in csv_opmerking
• Meaning: Publieksinformatievoorziening (shared library infrastructure)
• Examples:
  • Zeeuwse Bibliotheken (Middelburg)
  • FERS Friesland (Leeuwarden)
  • Rijnbrink Gelderland (Deventer)
  • Biblionet Groningen (Groningen)
  • Bibliotheken Noord-Limburg (Venray)

5. Public Library (134, default)

• Rule: All libraries not matching specialized categories
• Examples:
  • OBA (Amsterdam)
  • Bibliotheek Rotterdam (Rotterdam)
  • Bibliotheek Utrecht (Utrecht)

Usage Examples

Load YAML Data

import yaml

with open('data/isil/nl/kb/20250401_Bnetwerk_ISIL_Bibliotheken_Nederland.yaml', 'r') as f:
    records = yaml.safe_load(f)

print(f"Loaded {len(records)} libraries")

Query by Library Type

public_libraries = [r for r in records if r['library_type'] == 'public_library']
print(f"Public libraries: {len(public_libraries)}")

poi_systems = [r for r in records if r['library_type'] == 'library_automation_system']
print(f"POI systems: {len(poi_systems)}")

Query by City

amsterdam_libraries = [r for r in records if r['csv_vestigingsplaats'] == 'Amsterdam']
for lib in amsterdam_libraries:
    print(f"- {lib['name']} ({lib['library_type']})")

Extract National Infrastructure

national_infrastructure = [
    r for r in records 
    if r['library_type'] in [
        'national_library', 
        'national_library_organization',
        'library_automation_system'
    ]
]
print(f"National library infrastructure: {len(national_infrastructure)} institutions")

SPARQL Query (Future RDF Export)

PREFIX hc: <https://w3id.org/heritage/custodian/>
PREFIX isil: <https://isil.org/>

SELECT ?library ?name ?library_type WHERE {
  ?library hc:name ?name ;
           hc:library_type ?library_type ;
           hc:identifier ?id .
  ?id dcterms:identifier ?isil_code ;
      dcterms:type "ISIL" .
  FILTER(?library_type = "library_automation_system")  # POI systems
}

POI (Publieksinformatievoorziening) Systems

11 library automation systems provide shared infrastructure across regions:

POI System	City	Region	ISIL Code
Zeeuwse Bibliotheken	Middelburg	Zeeland	NL-0700130000
FERS Friesland	Leeuwarden	Friesland	NL-0702860000
Rijnbrink Gelderland	Deventer	Gelderland	NL-0702870000
Biblionet Groningen	Groningen	Groningen	NL-0702880000
Bibliotheken Noord-Limburg	Venray	Noord-Limburg	NL-0703010000
Biblioned Drenthe	Emmen	Drenthe	NL-0703040000
Biblionetwerk Noord-Holland Noord	Alkmaar	NH Noord	NL-0703130000
Bibliotheken Midden-Brabant	Tilburg	Midden-Brabant	NL-0704070000
Biblioservice Fryslan	Drachten	Friesland	NL-0709640000
Stichting Openbare Bibliotheek Utrecht	Utrecht	Utrecht	NL-0729460000
Stichting Bibliotheken Leidse Regio	Leiden	Zuid-Holland	NL-0739260000

Key insight: POI systems serve as regional consortia providing shared catalog, automation, and discovery infrastructure for multiple public libraries.

Future Work

1. Geocoding: Add latitude/longitude to Location objects using Nominatim API
2. Wikidata Enrichment: Link libraries to Wikidata entities (Q-numbers)
3. Cross-linking: Match with National Archive ISIL dataset (524 total Dutch ISIL codes)
4. Holdings Data: Integrate library holdings and collection information
5. Network Analysis: Map POI system memberships and library consortia relationships
6. RDF Export: Generate RDF/Turtle serialization for SPARQL querying
7. Historical Tracking: Document library mergers, closures, and name changes over time
