Using CSV & Python Power Apps for Creating an RDA Application Profile, with a Validation Method

Presented under the “Technology Matters” subtheme of the IFLA 2025 metadata symposium in Athens, this talk explores a modern, standards-compliant approach to metadata management using Microsoft PowerApps. It showcases the creation of a customizable RDA (Resource Description and Access) application profile and the generation of SHACL validation files via SHACL4BIB. The solution enables agile metadata design and automated quality control, bridging RDA standards with practical implementation. By combining user-friendly tools and semantic web technologies, it supports flexible, precise, and sustainable metadata workflows.
