Controlled Vocabularies
• A standardised set of terms that are accepted, defined,
and managed (agreed on by a community)
• A way to enable consistency in metadata, to facilitate
accurate search and retrieval
• Tend to be domain/discipline specific
• Find the one that best fits your collection

stefanocosta

This document discusses open data in archaeology. It defines open data as content or data that anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute, subject to attribution and sharing-alike requirements. The document outlines momentum for open data from open government initiatives and advocates for open licensing of archaeological data to increase impact and encourage reuse. However, it notes challenges including episodic and unsustainable open data efforts, lack of long-term preservation, balancing openness with cultural sensitivities, and avoiding "non-commercial" licenses that do not have clear definitions. Overall, the document promotes individual and institutional advocacy for open archaeological data standards and best practices.

The document summarizes the origins and development of Linked Open Data for libraries, archives, and museums (LODLAM). It discusses how library standards from the 1970s did not integrate well with the wider web. It then describes the LODLAM initiative, which began in 2011 to convene leaders to publish and work with Linked Open Data from these institutions. The initiative aims to identify tools and techniques, define policies, and promote use cases to advocate for Linked Open Data in cultural heritage organizations.

Join this discussion on the benefits and process of harvesting to aggregators such as DPLA, Europeana and other aggregators. Through case studies we'll outline three stages of the process, including 1) mapping, migrating, and normalizing data in open source digital repositories, 2) making use of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI - PMH), and 3) reaping the benefits of increased exposure. Presenters welcome lively discussion and questions from participants of all technical backgrounds and skill levels.

This document discusses the history and practices of cataloging moving images. It begins with a brief history of moving image cataloging since the late 19th century. It then provides examples of how different institutions, such as the Library of Congress, Lucasfilm Research Library, Museum of Modern Art, and Paramount Pictures approach cataloging their moving image collections. These case studies illustrate the variety of standards, tools, and metadata schemes used. The document also covers two approaches to metadata organization and issues of interoperability. Finally, it discusses how emerging technologies like the semantic web can enhance metadata and connections between content.

Linked Data in Libraries

Carl Hess

This document discusses the potential benefits of using linked data in libraries. It explains that linked data connects related data on the web using URIs and RDF triples. This allows data to be integrated, extended and reused. The document provides examples of how linked data could unlock library data, connect different library systems, and allow complex relationships to be modeled. Overall, it argues that linked data can help libraries share and integrate their data in new ways.

This document discusses cataloging and classification of indigenous and non-Western knowledge. It covers: - The origins of indigenous cataloging in response to Eurocentric systems that did not adequately represent indigenous peoples. Efforts in Australia, North America, and New Zealand are described. - Challenges of indigenous cataloging include marginalization, differing worldviews, separation from cultural contexts, and issues with assuming universality. Effective practices involve collaboration and an indigenous perspective. - Cataloging of non-Western materials in the Soviet Union, which developed its own classification systems due to ideological differences from Western schemes. Control and censorship of library collections was common. - Reconstruction of Chinese library classification and cataloging after periods of

The document discusses cataloging and classification systems used for indigenous and non-Western materials. It describes Brian Deer Classification and First Nations Name Authority List systems for First Nations groups in Canada, challenges in marginalizing indigenous worldviews, and considerations for developing inclusive systems. For Native Americans, it mentions the American Indian Library Association and protocols for cooperation with Native communities. For Maori, it discusses the Maori Subject Headings system. It also outlines the Soviet classification system development and suppression of materials in Russia. For China, it discusses reconstruction of systems after historical periods of suppression and adoption of international standards.

ODF: Our Document Future - Open Document Format & Digital Preservation.

Donna Benjamin

The document discusses digital preservation and the OpenDocument Format. It notes that digital preservation is important to maintain a communal memory across time, as humans are the only species to store information outside of their brains. It then outlines four elements that threaten future access to stored digital data: the storage media, hardware, software, and standards used. The document promotes the OpenDocument Format as an open standard and discusses several Australian efforts to support digital preservation, including the National Library, PADI, PANDORA, and National Archives of Australia projects.

Kev Long - Administrative Roles in the DRI

dri_ireland

The document outlines three roles in the DRI - Organisational Manager, Manager User, and Edit User. The Organisational Manager is the most senior user who signs an agreement with the DRI and has full access and control over their institution's collections, including assigning other user roles. Manager Users can create and manage collections and digital objects, set permissions, and review/publish. Edit Users have limited capabilities focused on creating individual digital objects and marking objects as reviewed.

Kathryn Cassidy - What metadata do we need for preservation?

dri_ireland

Kathryn Cassidy discusses the types of metadata needed for digital preservation. Rich descriptive metadata is needed such as contextual information about data collection methods, questionnaires, and consent forms. Rights and reuse metadata like licenses and copyright information is also important. Administrative and technical metadata including file characterizations, checksums, and locations of copies ensures understandability and reusability over time. The Digital Repository of Ireland requires description, rights, type, contributor, and date metadata as well as additional technical and administrative fields to effectively preserve and provide access to digital materials in the long-term.
