This study examines the reconciliation of BIBFRAME entities at scale. While BIBFRAME has been in development and use within the library community for over a decade, most implementation efforts have focused on the creation of BIBFRAME data rather than the reconciliation of entities transformed from legacy MARC records, particularly and entities. This study explores how reconciliation can be effectively carried out at scale, including where it should occur and how these entities should be managed over time. The dataset includes original MARC records, their corresponding BIBFRAME transformations, and the methods applied in the reconciliation process.
