Iterating from Prototype to MVP: A Blue Core Project Report
Authors: Kalliopi Mathios, Jeremy Nelson
The Blue Core project completed development on a prototype in 2025, realizing the vision for a community-operated and owned BIBFRAME data store and providing a valuable environment for testing integrations with two open-source linked data editors: Sinopia and Marva. Thoroughly tested for scalability, metadata operations, and integration with local Library Services Platforms, the prototype informs plans for a Blue Core MVP that leverages agentic AI to enhance cataloger workflows.
