Resumen

Introduction: This paper explores the potential of Linked Data to enhance library catalog records, using the internationally recognized song "The Girl from Ipanema". Method: The famous song was used as a case study to illustrate the possibilities of the usage of a knowledge graph and metadata (authority and bibliographic data) enrichment. Results: By applying Linked Data principles, the study demonstrates how metadata enrichment can improve access and discoverability in library systems. This is achieved by including International Resource Identifiers (IRIs), the utilization of external sources such as the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), and the Last.fm application programming interface (API). In addition, a knowledge graph was introduced as a tool for providing structured relationships with bibliographic entities within a catalog. Conclusions: The Last.fm open API is used to enrich metadata, offer track listings, and add album art to search results, thus enhancing user experience and information retrieval. The case study includes a knowledge graph in the online library catalog.
