Technical Introduction to Blue Core

The Blue Core project (currently in Prototype phase) is a shared BIBFRAME RDF environment allowing users across institutions to share and extend BIBFRAME Works and Instances in a collaborative manner. The Blue Core Prototype is a Docker-based environment and can be run locally on a developer’s laptop. This session would cover the following:

  • Getting the Blue Core stack up and running locally.

  • Creating a custom user/group in the Keycloak Bluecore realm

  • Ingesting a number of CBD files (with the participants find CBDs in id.loc.gov), either through the command-line, the Graph Toolbox, or a Jupyter Notebook

  • Loading and Editing a BF Work/Instance in Sinopia

  • Loading and Editing a CBD file in Marva

  • Loading resources and then making SPARQL queries in the Graph Toolbox

  • Using Blue Core AI Agent(s) in a Jupyter notebook
