- Description
- BACKGROUND: The Library of Congress (LOC) Linked Data Service (LDS) has become the premier Linked Data service for the bibliographic community.� With a focus on catering to machine-to-machine communication, its services have been integrated into a variety of library software in the community and developers make heavy use of the service on a daily basis.� Its web interface has become equally popular by library professionals, especially catalogers.� LDS is a Linked Data application, meaning it makes data available via well-defined and predictable interaction patterns and uses the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model.� It features, additionally, a number of well-defined Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).� A typical test invokes an HTTP endpoint using a GET request, with or without special parameters, and evaluates the results, both the HTTP headers returned and response body.� LDS includes hundreds of tests designed to ensure the service inputs and outputs match expectations and requirements.� These are implemented in an aging framework and are invoked manually.� The Library needs to migrate these tests from this framework in such a way that they can be integrated into CI/CD (Continuous integration/continuous development) pipelines.� The Library does not have sufficient staff with the specialized expertise to carry out this task.� That expertise is a combination of in-depth knowledge of Resource Description Framework (RDF), including the various software options used to work with RDF, and programming strategies for optimal CI/CD integration. SCOPE:� The Contractor shall design and code a system for testing the expected inputs and outputs of LDS and migrate the existing tests.� The Contractor shall use a strategy that makes the addition of new tests and modifications to existing ones straightforward and with minimal involvement of library staff as users of the system.� Tests are added by Library staff regularly and should not be a laborious process. The final deliverable for this contract would be a set of programs with attendant documentation, which can be used by the Library for automated testing of the inputs and outputs of the Library�s Linked Data Service. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Offeror questions are due November 2, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST.� Questions are submitted to the contracting officer via an email to bmatsuoka@loc.gov using Attachment J1 � Question-template which is an excel spreadsheet to allow the Library to reference your questions to the applicable portion of the RFQ.� All questions will be collected and questions and answers will be posted to SAM.gov as an amendment to the RFQ.� Responses to offeror questions will be posted as an amendment to this page as soon as possible. Quotes are due November 17, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST.� Please read the Request for Quote document 030ADV24Q0018 in its entirety.� It contains the Statement of Work (SOW) and the clauses and provisions that apply to this requirement.� Within the SOW is the Library�s estimate of the level of effort we expect this requirement to be.
