What is Bounding Box

Chapter 4
Technological Advancements in Library Service Innovation
Georeferencing of an area (also expressed as bbox data) with two longitudes (westernmost longitude and easternmost longitude) and two latitudes (northernmost latitude and southernmost latitude). MARC 21 formats for bibliographic data and authority data supports encoding of bbox data in tag 034, and Dublin Core accommodates it in DC.Coverage.spatial metadata element.

Abstract
This research study is an attempt to develop a MARC-formatted authority dataset for Indian geo-administrative units given the inadequate coverage of Indian place names in global authority datasets. It starts with an authenticated place names file in CSV format and applies data wrangling tools and techniques to fetch geospatial data and other related datasets from open access data sources to develop a geographic name authority file for Indian place names with geocoordinate data values. Later, this research also demonstrates how that authority dataset can be implemented in an open-source ILS and how retrieval features of a library discovery system can be enhanced through a geodetic search interface by utilizing that authority dataset. The entire methodologies are based on open data, open-source software, and open standards.
