dc.description.abstract	In the context of academic libraries in the United States, efforts to move from the MARC 21 formats to standards based on linked open data are currently underway. From 2018 to 2020, librarians at the Yale University Library took part in a larger initiative called Linked Data for Production, and they carried out a pilot project to implement the Library of Congress BIBFRAME standard for original resource description. BIBFRAME is an extensible standard that can accommodate specialized description via domain-specific vocabularies such as the Art and Rare Materials (ARM) extension ontology. At Yale, a team of 20 staff members was trained to use the Sinopia Linked Data Editor, a new cataloging tool being developed at Stanford University. A total of 200 items were cataloged before the project was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the relatively short period spent cataloging, it took nearly twice as long to catalog resources in Sinopia as it typically might in a traditional MARC cataloging environment. Academic libraries are still in the early stages of this transition, and additional investments in training and technology are needed in order for it to proceed successfully.	en_US
