Web2.0 Overview

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?": Introduction and overview of issues Gordon Dunsire

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

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 …

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 …

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?

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

Google map of all Scotland’s archives, libraries and museums

Locations of Robert Burns collections in Scotland

But what about
The users?

Some typical end-users

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 …

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
