The Blue Core project successfully completed its prototype development in 2025, establishing a community-operated and owned BIBFRAME data store. This prototype has served as a critical testing environment for integration with two open-source linked data editors: Sinopia and Marva. Following comprehensive scalability testing, metadata operations validation, and integration assessments with local Library Services Platforms, the project has advanced to its second MVP (Minimum Viable Product) work cycle. The current MVP incorporates agentic AI capabilities designed to enhance cataloger workflows. The project team is now preparing for a phased BIBFRAME implementation scheduled to begin in early 2027. This session will provide an overview of the project's background, current development status, and planned future activities.
