Slideshow Transcript
- Slide 1: If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow, why
oh why can't I?\":
Introduction and overview of issues
Gordon Dunsire
- Slide 2: My yellow brick road
Early 2007: the world is black and white
And I’m somewhat pessimistic about the
future of cataloguing
And the emerging information Dark Age …
Mid 2007: the wind begins to blow
SLIC’n’Flickr; NLS’n’YouTube
Theme for my workshop for Croatian
archives, libraries and museums is …
Web2.0 stuff
- Slide 3: Thunder and (en)lightening
Me: I can do the Flickr and YouTube bit,
plus a Google maps mash-up
Co-presenter at workshop (younger
(much!), slimmer (a lot!): I can do a basic
introduction to other Web2.0 stuff like
del.ic.io.us, Facebook, etc.
And I get blown away …
- Slide 4: Not in Kansas …
So at the next CDLR staff meeting
I enthusiastically suggest that we should all
be getting engaged with this stuff
And the Director agrees!
And then the rest of the team (looking a bit
bored) point out that they’ve all been on
Facebook for months …
And then I realize …
- Slide 5: We are all, basically, Munchkins!
And getting older all the time …
Any youthful wizards or (good) witches out there?

- Slide 6: Collective metadata
Today’s presentations will focus on
metadata for information retrieval
And most of it will be familiar to library
cataloguers, even if the labels are different
That metadata, like those who create it, will
be associated with specific organisations or
individuals
But what about metadata and Web2.0 at a
higher level of granularity, and, in turn,
cataloguers acting collectively?
- Slide 7: A collective mash-up
Location metadata from collection-level
descriptions in the Scottish Collections
Network (SCONE)
Mashed with Google Maps
Using the Application Program Interface
Public, free
- Slide 8: Google map of all Scotland’s archives, libraries and museums
- Slide 9: Locations of Robert Burns collections in Scotland
- Slide 11: But what about
The users?
- Slide 12: Some typical end-users
- Slide 13: And collective cataloguers?
Web2.0 now an essential tool for
developing cataloguing standards to meet
the challenges of an international, digital
environment
Wikis, blogs, Skype, etc.
And those standards becoming more
Web2.0 compatible
Open declaration for common utility
FRBR, LCSH, LCNAF, MARC21, RDA …
- Slide 14: http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/
- Slide 15: Web3.0
If we can tell computers that:
Library.title = Archive.title = Museum.caption
= Bibliotheque.titre = MARC.245 = <title>
“Jane Smith” (writer) <> “Jane Smith”
(musician)
“Economics” = “330” > “ 交換率”
Then Web3.0 = Cataloguable Web =
Semantic Web
