            Bug ID: 10788
           Summary: Add a Linked Data/RDF browser to the OPAC
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: OPAC

This bug aims to add a browsing interface to the OPAC, that will make it
possible to browse bibliographic records that have been converted from MARC to
RDF and stored in a triplestore external to Koha. It will also be possible to
browse data from external sources that has been entered into the triplestore,
as well as any relations and other data that has been created in the
triplestore. 

The browsing will be highly configurable, with SPARQL queries and related
templates stored in the triplestore. One goal is to hard code as little as
possible of the functionality, at least in the beginning. 

Future bugs will address the need for an interface to add and edit queries and
templates in the triplestore, import of data from other source, manual
enhancement of the data in the triplestore etc. The present bug is a functional
proof of concept that aims to demonstrate the usefulness and potential that
comes from utilizing Linked Data in an ILS. 

Conversion from MARC to RDF is outside the scope of this bug, but is being
worked on by Chris Cormack. Until that work is submitted, it will be possible
to do the conversion with tools external to koha, such as:
- https://github.com/digibib/marc2rdf
- https://github.com/edchamberlain/COMET/tree/master/conversion

The features added by this bug will of course be governed by a syspref that
defaults to "off".
