Slides from a webinar presentation organised by ALCTS -A division of the American Library Association - February 19th 2020. http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/021920
The return on investment for academic libraries is chiefly tied to access, usage, and impact. Without accurate, consistent, and quality metadata on the one hand, and an easy-to-use and effective discovery service on the other, these valuable resources may remain invisible and inaccessible to users. In this webinar, four overarching metadata principles, namely metadata enriching, linking, openness, and filtering, are presented. In addition, presenters will examine how these ideas help shape the metadata creation and discovery services at Solent University—focusing on the implementation of RDA and FRBR as well as the use of subject authority headings and authority controls.
From the principle of sufficiency and necessity to metadata enrichingGetaneh Alemu
In contrast to the principle of metadata simplicity and sufficiency, the principle of metadata enriching can be considered a departure from traditional cataloguing approaches where the focus was on metadata simplicity. Metadata created and managed following the principle of metadata enriching better responds to users’ needs. Whilst the principle of enriching results in a potential abundance of metadata, the principle of filtering is used to simplify its presentation by enabling a user-centred/focused/led design.

This document discusses metadata and its importance for digital libraries and humanities. It defines metadata as "data about data" that describes resources to help users find, identify and select them. Metadata plays a crucial role in managing the huge amount of digital information and data available. The document advocates for an approach of enriching metadata by allowing both experts and users to contribute, and filtering it through customizable interfaces to meet diverse user needs.

Current metadata landscape in the library world (Getaneh Alemu)Getaneh Alemu
The document summarizes the current metadata landscape in libraries. It discusses what metadata is, existing metadata challenges like growing collections and changing user expectations. It covers common metadata standards like MARC21, Dublin Core and frameworks like FRBR. The document emphasizes that metadata enables functions like search, discovery and organization. It discusses metadata enrichment through user tagging and linking metadata to controlled vocabularies. The future of metadata is seen as enriched, linked, open and filtered to meet changing needs.
Current metadata landscape in the library world Getaneh AlemuGetaneh Alemu
This workshop was presented at MTSR-2017 (Nov. 27, 2017) in Tallinn, Estonia http://www.mtsr-conf.org/index.php/programme The workshop aims to bring the current metadata landscape in libraries in context, with particular emphasis on emerging theory/principles and best practices covering:
• The theory of enriching and filtering
• Metadata enriching through RDA (Hands on - The RDA Toolkit and implementation of RDA at Southampton Solent University)
• Metadata filtering through FRBR (practical issues that cataloguers face in FRBRising their catalogue)
• Metadata management (metadata quality, authority control and subject headings)
• Metadata systems, tools and applications (practical issues of e-books and database cataloguing)

Linked Data for Libraries: Benefits of a Conceptual Shift from Library-Specif...Getaneh Alemu
This presentation (full text paper: http://conference.ifla.org/sites/default/files/files/papers/wlic2012/92-alemu-en.pdf ) provides recommendations for making a conceptual shift from current document-centric to data-centric metadata. The importance of adjusting current library models such as Resource Description and Access (RDA) and Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) to models based on Linked Data principles is discussed. In relation to technical formats, the paper suggests the need to leapfrog from Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) to Resource Description Framework (RDF), without disrupting current library metadata operations.
A theory of digital library metadata : enrich then filter Getaneh Alemu
The document presents a theory of enriching digital library metadata through a social constructivist approach, then filtering it for users. It discusses limitations of current standards-based approaches and the need to incorporate socially constructed metadata. The theory is based on interviews with 57 librarians, students, and lecturers. It proposes separating metadata content enrichment, as a continuous process, from interface filtering. Enrichment should move from user-centered to user-driven and involve diverse metadata that better meets users' needs through seamless linking. The goal is "useful" rather than "perfect" metadata, with post-hoc user-driven filtering. The presenter provides an example of implementing this theory at Southampton Solent University Library.
Semantic Metadata Interoperability in Digital LibrariesGetaneh Alemu
This document describes a constructivist grounded theory approach to addressing semantic metadata interoperability issues in digital libraries. It discusses challenges like differing naming conventions, identification practices, and terminology used across systems. Bottom-up, qualitative methods are proposed over top-down standards to account for diverse cultural interpretations. Interviews with librarians, researchers and students revealed that controlled vocabularies often fail to represent local perspectives and that semantic interoperability requires a social constructivist approach.
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.
Dr Natalie Harrower - DRI and Open Datadri_ireland
Presentation given by DR Natalie Harrower, Director of Digital Repository of Ireland, at the Europeana and Open Data Symposium held at the National Library of Ireland on 23 May 2016, on the subject of Open Data use and policy in the Digital Repository of Ireland.
This presentation was delivered by Gloria Gonzalez of Zepheira during the NISO Virtual Conference, BIBFRAME & Real World Applications of Linked Bibliographic Data, held on June 15, 2016.
UKOLN provides support for digital repositories in the UK through various programs funded by JISC. There are over 50 institutional and departmental repositories in the UK hosting scholarly works. The Digital Repositories Program funded 25 projects from 2005-2008 related to repository infrastructure, content, policies and user needs. Going forward, JISC will continue funding repositories through 2009 and plans to launch a national repository search service and support project to help more institutions implement repositories.
The document discusses the origins and development of linked open data initiatives for libraries, archives, and museums (LODLAM). It notes that library standards like MARC were originally developed internally in the 1960s-1970s. The LODLAM initiative aims to identify tools and techniques for publishing linked open data from cultural heritage institutions and draft policies around licensing and copyright. The initiative has convened leaders since 2011 to promote these goals.
Towards collaboration at scale: Libraries, the social and the technicallisld
Libraries are now supporting research and learning behaviors in data rich network environments. This presentation looks at some examples focusing on how an emphasis on individual systems needs to give way to a broader view of process, workflow and behaviors.
It also discusses how this environment creates a demand for collaboration at scale among libraries.
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This document summarizes projects funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) related to developing a National Digital Platform. It describes 7 projects improving open source digital library software tools and communities, 4 projects focused on scaling up shared services, 2 applied research projects related to collections at scale, and 3 projects aimed at improving access for all and inclusion. It provides brief descriptions and links to more information for each of the 20 projects. The overall goal is to expand the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the United States by prioritizing promising digital tools and services.
Fuller Disclosure: Getting More Collections into the Network Flowkramsey
The document discusses how libraries can make more of their collections discoverable by being where users search for information online. It recommends focusing on collection-level descriptions rather than exhaustive item-level metadata. Libraries should digitize materials, share metadata across systems, and engage users to add descriptive information over time. The goal is to expose hidden collections and get them integrated into the online information landscape where discovery happens.
OCLC and the Social Web:Building tools, providing platforms, engaging the co...Andy Havens
OCLC is the world's largest library cooperative, established in 1967 to reduce costs and increase access to information. It maintains WorldCat, the world's largest database of library records, and provides interlibrary loan and other services to over 71,000 libraries. OCLC is building social features into WorldCat and developing applications for platforms like Facebook to engage users. It also operates blogs and discussion lists to connect with the library community and shares reports and data to further its mission.
The document summarizes recent events and projects in the fields of digital preservation, metadata, cataloging standards and practices. It describes a forum held by RLG on converging standards for digital preservation, ALCTS regional institutes on metadata and cataloging rules, training courses offered by Rare Book School, an Open Archives workshop in Portugal, and the annual NASIG conference in Virginia. It also provides overviews of the Diffuse Project standards information source and the DLIST digital library for information science and technology.
The facilitated collection: collections and collecting in a network environmentlisld
We often think of collections as local – whether owned or licensed. Increasingly this picture is changing in several ways. Libraries are sharing responsibility for collections. Libraries are providing access to materials they do not own, but which are available to their users (freely available digital book collections for example). Demand driven acquisitions changes the view of local collections. Institutions are also thinking about how to manage locally produced materials (research data for example) and support access across institutions. This trend is supported by changes as discovery is peeled away from local collections. This presentation discusses these trends, and collections and discovery change in a network environment.
This was a presentation at the Libraries Australia Forum, Melbourne, 2015
A theory of digital library metadata the emergence of enriching and filteringGetaneh Alemu
Adopting a Constructivist Grounded Theory Method, this thesis conducted in-depth interviews with 57 purposefully selected participants, comprised of practising librarians, researchers, metadata consultants and library users. The interview data was analysed using three stages of iterative data analysis: open coding, focused coding and theoretical coding. The analysis resulted in the emergence of four Core Categories, namely, metadata Enriching, Linking, Openness and Filtering. Further integration of the Core Categories resulted in the emergence of a theory of digital library metadata; The Theory of Metadata Enriching and Filtering.
The theory stipulates that metadata that has been enriched, by melding standards-based (a priori) and socially-constructed (post-hoc) metadata, cannot be optimally utilised unless the resulting metadata is contextually and semantically linked to both internal and external information sources. Moreover, in order to exploit the full benefits of such linking, metadata must be made openly accessible, where it can be shared, re-used, mixed and matched, thus reducing metadata duplication. Ultimately, metadata that has been enriched (by linking and being made openly accessible) should be filtered for each user, via a flexible, personalised, and re-configurable interface.
The theory provides a holistic framework demonstrating the interdependence between expert curated and socially-constructed metadata, wherein the former helps to structure the latter, whilst the latter provides diversity to the former. This theory also suggests a conceptual shift from the current metadata principle of sufficiency and necessity, which has resulted in metadata simplicity, to the principle of metadata enriching where information objects are described using a multiplicity of users’ perspectives (interpretations). Central to this theory is the consideration of users as pro-active metadata creators rather than mere consumers, whilst librarians are creators of a priori metadata and experts at providing structure, granularity, and interoperability to post-hoc metadata. The theory elegantly delineates metadata functions into two: enriching (metadata content) and filtering (interface). By providing underlying principles, this theory should enable standards-agencies, librarians, and systems developers to better address the changing needs of users as well as to adapt themselves to recent technological advances.
This document describes a case study where the University of Denver used Getty vocabularies as linked open data in a cataloging tool for an academic teaching collection. The tool was designed with a user-friendly interface, Dublin Core metadata, and integrated authority control drawn from sources like ULAN, AAT, and Library of Congress. Screenshots show how materials could be cataloged and metadata exported to other systems using standards from the semantic web like URIs, RDF, and SPARQL. The tool helped increase efficiency and quality of metadata production for the teaching collection.
Library as Place, Place as Library: Duality and the Power of CooperationKaren S Calhoun
This talk, delivered at the February 2010 OCLC Regional Council Seminar in Auckland NZ, explores the turbulent conditions in which libraries are evolving as both places and virtual spaces on the Web. How are these conditions driving change in library collections, catalogues, and cooperative systems? What are OCLC's strategies for helping today's libraries gain visibility and impact through cooperation and data sharing? If we were building a system for library cooperation today, what would it look like?

Agile resources on the open web …. a global digital libraryJisc
The document summarizes a presentation about JISC's efforts to create an open, global digital library and infrastructure for accessing educational resources. It discusses JISC's role in funding content providers and shared services; principles for the infrastructure including being integrated, interoperable, and sustainable; creating open metadata and linking datasets; and a vision of students and researchers having easy access to integrated library, museum and archive resources through a collaborative framework.
The document discusses the convergence of libraries, archives, museums, and special collections (LAMs) at the University of Calgary. It outlines the vision for integrated LAM services, the co-location of resources in the new Taylor Family Digital Library, and the development of centralized metadata and user services provided jointly by archivists, librarians, and curators. Key aspects of convergence include a unified search system, centralized metadata services, and a combined research support model that draws on the unique expertise and resources of each LAM area.
ICT has revolutionized libraries and information centers. Libraries have adopted ICT to automate operations, provide digital resources, and take on new roles. Key ICT applications in libraries include library automation systems, digital libraries, institutional repositories, electronic resources, and networking tools. Library professionals must develop skills in areas like software, databases, digital libraries, and multimedia to effectively manage modern libraries using ICT. ICT allows libraries to improve access and services for users in the digital age.

ALIAOnline Practical Linked (Open) Data for Libraries, Archives & MuseumsJon Voss
This document discusses practical applications of Linked Open Data (LOD) for libraries, archives, and museums. It describes how LOD allows these institutions to publish structured data on the web in ways that are interoperable and can be connected to other open datasets. Examples are given of how LOD is being used by various institutions to share metadata, images, and other cultural heritage assets on the web in open, machine-readable formats. The presenter argues that LOD represents a new paradigm that these cultural organizations should embrace to make their collections more accessible and useful on the web.
Consortium on Digitization of Indian Agricultural Library ResourcesDevakumar Jain
The document proposes establishing a consortium to strengthen libraries within the Indian National Agricultural Research System (NARS) by transitioning them to digital libraries. The consortium would work to digitize resources, create a union catalog, build capacity for librarians, and provide access to digital materials. Key activities would include digitization of collections, development of institutional repositories, training workshops, and creating a searchable online platform to improve access to resources. The goals are to modernize services, facilitate knowledge sharing, and ensure long-term preservation and access to information.
Information Retrieval Methods in Libraries and Information CentersEdeama Onwuchekwa
The document discusses various information retrieval methods used in libraries and information centers. It describes traditional methods like cataloguing, classification, indexing, and abstracting. It also discusses newer methods like metadata and online public catalogs. The goal of these various methods is to facilitate the storage and retrieval of information to meet users' needs.
Descriptive Standards and Applications in Memory InstitutionsE. Murphy
This presentation is for a group class project completed in the spring 2011 semester. The project examined metadata practices in 2 memory institutions as well as the current best practices for creating interoperable metadata.
Karen Calhoun gave a presentation at the COBISS Conference on November 12, 2009 about trends in librarianship and metadata management. She discussed how technical services departments are shrinking due to budget cuts and priorities shifting to user services. She also talked about the increasing importance of the virtual library and integrating the catalog with other discovery tools. Finally, she covered how metadata creation has become distributed across libraries and other institutions, requiring new workflows and standards for metadata exchange.
This document provides summaries of several upcoming conferences, training programs, videoconferences, and workshops related to metadata and digital libraries. It also summarizes two ongoing projects: the development of a MARC 21 XML schema by the Library of Congress to facilitate the communication and conversion of MARC records, and the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) being developed by the Library of Congress as a standard for encoding metadata about digital library objects.

Sometimes survival means being faster, stronger, or smarter. Sometimes it requires flexibility, alertness, and the ability to adapt. Academic libraries are in the midst of a digital transformation, but in this transitional period some real tensions demand strategic nuance. An expert in the changing roles of the library, scholarly publisher, and learned society, keynote speaker Roger Schonfeld will lead us through the three tensions underlying the changing library environment. Each of these tensions is a budgetary tension, and each of them is a systems tension, and for each of them the library would benefit from a more sophisticated engagement by publishers and vendors.

Presentation on creating a method for benchmarking metadata consistency in OpenURL links. See also: <http: />. Delivered at the July 2009 American Library Association conference in Chicago.
This document summarizes OCLC's WorldCat database and services. WorldCat contains over 203 million bibliographic records and 1.6 billion library holdings. It is growing rapidly, with 57.5% of records in non-English languages. WorldCat.org provides a global library search engine and sees over 16.9 million monthly users. OCLC aims to help libraries share metadata faster and improve discovery at a global scale through WorldCat and related services.
This document discusses the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on libraries and the changing role of librarians. It outlines how ICT has led to the automation of library operations and services, including the creation of digital libraries and institutional repositories. The document also lists the skills librarians require to implement and manage ICT, such as knowledge of software, networking, metadata, and various library services like cataloging and reference services. It emphasizes that ICT is crucial for libraries to meet growing user demands in the current digital environment.

“The design of systems for organising information rests on an intellectual foundation” (Svenonius, 2000)
Theoretically coherent foundational principles rather than case-based rules (Lubetzky, 1953)
4. INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT
Hosted by ALCTS, Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
Metadata that is ENRICHED, LINKED, OPEN
and FILTERED drives usage of resources.
(Alemu, 2014)
“The catalogue guides the reader as far as the location of the book but not to the contents
within and also r e l a t i o n s h i p s between documents.” (Paul Otlet, 1934 cited by Wright, 2007; 2014)

(GLAMs)
Ensuring print and electronic resources are discoverable and usable by users
Supports the circulation, acquisition and interlibrary loan functions of a library
Central for the preservation and access of cultural heritage objects

relevancy ranking, faceted refinement, and recording grouping function (FRBR)
all respond to the metadata present.”

WHY METADATA ?

10. METADATA & MONEY
Hosted by ALCTS, Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
• Return on investment in library resources is ever more important
• At Solent, 90% of the resources budget goes on digital products –
usage drives everything
• Metadata aides acquisition – the more we know about a resource,
the more likely we acquire the right one
• Metadata aides usage – undiscoverable resources do not get used
11. CATALOGUING PRINCIPLES
• The principle of sufficiency and necessity
• The principle of user convenience
• The principle of representation
• The principle of standardisation
(Svenonius, 2000; IFLA, 2009)
Hosted by ALCTS, Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
14. LIMITATION OF STANDARDS
Hosted by ALCTS, Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
Growing library collections
Ever changing technologies
Changing user expectations
Books often lend themselves to various
interpretations and contexts
The social space of documents is missing
15. • Hierarchical, structured and standards-based metadata vs bottom-up, collaborative
(Web 2.0 approaches metadata co-creation)
• Authority controls and subject headings providing consistency for FRBRisation and
discovery
• Metadata that is structured, uniquely identified and inter/intra-linked, provides
scalability, portability and interoperability
• Linked Data model (the ability to uniquely identify schemas, controlled
vocabularies, entities, elements, relations, resources and metadata using URIs and
interoperable technical formats example RDF/XML)
EMERGING TRENDS
Hosted by ALCTS, Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
17. METADATA CREATION

keeping this metadata and other information current, accessible, and
discoverable.” (Meadows, 2019)

Separation of metadata content (enriching) and interface (filtering)
Enriching and filtering as a continuous, non-deterministic process
From user-centred to user-driven metadata enriching and filtering
Metadata diversity better conforming to users’ needs
Seamless linking
‘Useful’ rather than ‘perfect’ metadata
Post-hoc user-driven filtering
21. A mixed metadata approach where both the experts and users are
continually enhancing metadata
From the principle of metadata simplicity to the principle of metadata
enriching
From human-readable metadata to structured, uniquely identified and
interlinked metadata (metadata linking)
From metadata silos to metadata openness enabling metadata sharing
and re-use (metadata openness)
From a single interface to user-led, re-configurable interface (metadata
filtering)

“The catalogue has to tell you more than what you ask for….
The answer of a good catalogue is not to say yes or no, but … to
tell [the user] that the library has [the item] in so many editions
and translations, and you have your choice.” Seymour Lubetzky,
1977

RDA better complies with current web technologies (in line
with FRBR’s WEMI, FRAD theoretical framework and the use
of relations and relationship designators)
RDA enables the creation of metadata that better caters for
finding, discovering, identifying, selecting, obtaining and
exploring information resources (access & usage)
RDA is intuitive for cataloguers and helps to generate user-
friendly bibliographic metadata, for example it avoids the use
of abbreviations (usability and accessibility)

42. R D A – R E S O U R C E D E S C R I P T I O N & A C C E S S
AACR2:
• AACR2 - borne in a time when space on the 3X4 inch card catalogue/storage
space was a major issue
• Adheres to the principle of metadata simplicity
• Abbreviated bibliographic description (such as ed., rev., vol., s.l., s.n., n.d., &
et al)
RDA:
• AACR2’s rule of three expanded – more access points /index terms
• RDA better empowers the cataloguer
• RDA is designed with linking and collocating multi-part and related works
together
• Richer metadata description (the principle of metadata enriching)
43. R D A – B I B R E C O R D N O R M A L I S AT I O N
53. METADATA USAGE
• Specificity of subjects Individual/concrete subjects [persons, events, places] (e.g.
Churchill; D-Day, Normandy ) vs General/abstract subjects (e.g. Leadership) (Cutter,
1904 cited by Dousa, 2015)
• “Coextensive heading is one that summarises the book’s topic, fits it like a cap that is
neither to loose, not too tight.” (Stone, 2000)
