Top SchoolJodi Williamschen is a Senior Technical Metadata Standards Specialist with eight years at the Library of Congress and a deep background in cataloging, linked data, and MARC/BIBFRAME interoperability.

Jodi is a frequent international speaker on BIBFRAME, MARC conversion, and linked data, and has guided practical implementations that bridge legacy MARC systems and modern linked-data environments.
