Abstract

Objective: to show how catalogs are currently opaque, without semantic elements, and how they can be enriched with datasets present on the Web so that they become semantic and provide other possibilities of discovery.
Methodology: the conceptual analysis technique was used, seeking to verify from studies how much the catalog is in fact a data silo and how this situation can be changed through linked data.
Results: through examples of bibliographic records, it was possible to include relationships between the data present in the catalog, providing context to patrons and enriching the information retrieved from the catalog.
Conclusions: library catalogs can be trusted sources of data and contribute to the Web of data, in addition to providing patrons with more possibilities of discoveries.
