Abstract

BIBFRAME's semantic web architecture enables rich, interconnected bibliographic description. However, realizing this potential requires practitioners to develop new expertise in linked data. This presentation introduces BF Vibe, a plugin that supports BIBFRAME creation and use through natural language explanations grounded in the BIBFRAME ontology and authoritative Library of Congress examples. Drawing on social signaling theory, BF Vibe generates computationally expensive but user-friendly guidance that is costly to produce yet cheap to interpret, signals that establish honest communication and reduce cognitive load. The plugin translates BIBFRAME's semantic relationships into conversational explanations, helping practitioners create and validate records while supporting their understanding of the standard. Through a chat-based interface, users can create BIBFRAME records with contextual support that bridges technical documentation and practical application. This approach supports both immediate productivity and skill development, offering a model for knowledge scaffolding in semantic metadata initiatives.
