This presentation was provided by Athena Hoeppner of the University of Central Florida during a NISO webinar, Providing Access: Ensuring What Libraries Have Licensed is What Users Can Reach, held on February 8, 2017
From the 11th to 16th of November the Norwegian University of Life Sciences Library is hosting a meeting with people from Sokoine Agricultural University (SUA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Ardhi University (ARU) and Tanzania Meteorological Institute (TMA) working on the project "Strengthening documentation, communication and dissemination of information related to climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation in Tanzania". The objective is to build the Tanzania Climate Change Repository, TaCCIRe, a subject repository based on DSpace.
The Tanzania Climate Change Information Repository is a digital collection of the intellectual output which is online, free of charge and free from most copyright and licensing restrictions. This repository aims at documenting and enhancing access to relevant information resources produced by CCIAM programme and related information generated from Tanzania. Through the TaCCIRe, research on climate change related to Tanzania and Africa are more visible to the rest of the world.
Next Friday (15th of November) people participating in the project and the AIMS editorial team will participate in a webinar to share the importance of using controlled vocabularies like AGROVOC on DSpace.

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.

Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) in the Context of Semantic Web De...gardensofmeaning
Links are valuable. Links between documents, between people, between ideas, between data. Data is now a first class Web citizen, and the Web is expanding as more of these valuable networks are deployed within its fabric. Well-established knowledge organization systems like the Library of Congress Subject Headings will play a major role within these networks, as hubs, connecting people with information and providing a firm foundation for network growth as many new routes to the discovery of information emerge through the collective action of individuals. Or will they?
This talk introduces the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a soon-to-be-completed W3C standard for publishing thesauri, classification schemes and subject headings as linked data in the Web. This talk also presents SKOS in the context of the W3C’s Semantic Web Activity, and in particular the work of the W3C’s Semantic Web Deployment Working Group where other specifications are being developed for publishing linked data in the Web, for embedding linked data in Web pages, and for managing Semantic Web vocabularies. Finally, this talk takes a mildly inquisitive look at the value propositions for linked data in the Web, and how LCSH might be deployed in the Web for better information discovery.
The logic-based machine-understandable framework of the Semantic Web often challenges naive users when they try to query ontology-based knowledge bases. Existing research efforts have approached this problem by introducing Natural Language (NL) interfaces to ontologies. These NL interfaces have the ability to construct SPARQL queries based on NL user queries. However, most efforts were restricted to queries expressed in English, and they often benefited from the advancement of English NLP tools. However, little research has been done to support querying the Arabic content on the Semantic Web by using NL queries. This paper presents a domain-independent approach to translate Arabic NL queries to SPARQL by leveraging linguistic analysis. Based on a special consideration on Noun Phrases (NPs), our approach uses a language parser to extract NPs and the relations from Arabic parse trees and match them to the underlying ontology. It then utilizes knowledge in the ontology to group NPs into triple-based representations. A SPARQL query is finally generated by extracting targets and modifiers, and interpreting them into SPARQL. The interpretation of advanced semantic features including negation, conjunctive and disjunctive modifiers is also supported. The approach was evaluated by using two datasets consisting of OWL test data and queries, and the obtained results have confirmed its feasibility to translate Arabic NL queries to SPARQL.
The objective of this webinar is to provide a brief overview of the Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and the tools used for managing them. The presentation will focus on the management of the multilingual Organic.Edunet ontology as a case study. In this context it will present aspects such as the collaborative work, multilinguality needs and update of the concepts using an online KOS management tool (MoKi).
How Portable Are the Metadata Standards for Scientific Data?Jian Qin
The one-covers-all approach in current metadata standards for scientific data has serious limitations in keeping up with the ever-growing data. This paper reports the findings from a survey to metadata standards in the scientific data domain and argues for the need for a metadata infrastructure. The survey collected 4400+ unique elements from 16 standards and categorized these elements into 9 categories. Findings from the data included that the highest counts of element occurred in the descriptive category and many of them overlapped with DC elements. This pattern also repeated in the elements co-occurred in different standards. A small number of semantically general elements appeared across the largest numbers of standards while the rest of the element co-occurrences formed a long tail with a wide range of specific semantics. The paper discussed implications of the findings in the context of metadata portability and infrastructure and pointed out that large, complex standards and widely varied naming practices are the major hurdles for building a metadata infrastructure.
Information residing in relational databases and delimited file systems are inadequate for reuse and sharing over the web. These file systems do not adhere to commonly set principles for maintaining data harmony. Due to these reasons, the resources have been suffering from lack of uniformity, heterogeneity as well as redundancy throughout the web. Ontologies have been widely used for solving such type of problems, as they help in extracting knowledge out of any information system. In this article, we focus on extracting concepts and their relations from a set of CSV files. These files are served as individual concepts and grouped into a particular domain, called the domain ontology. Furthermore, this domain ontology is used for capturing CSV data and represented in RDF format retaining links among files or concepts. Datatype and object properties are automatically detected from header fields. This reduces the task of user involvement in generating mapping files. The detail analysis has been performed on Baseball tabular data and the result shows a rich set of semantic information.

W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group: Review of the Final ReportF. Tim Knight
This report is a snapshot describing the current state of library data management. It outlines the potential benefits of publishing library data as Linked Data and provides recommendations for library standards bodies, data and systems designers, librarians and archivists, and library leaders.
There are two supplementary reports that provide additional detail. The first is the "Use Cases" describing library applications that take advantage of the benefits of adopting Linked Data standards and principles involved in publishing things like bibliographic data, concept schemes, and authority files. The second supplementary report "Datasets, Value Vocabularies, and Metadata Element Sets" provides a list of resources available for creating library Linked Data . There are several additional documents available on the W3C's Semantic Web wiki <http: /> and there is discussion list public-lld <http: />, which are both open to interested members of the public.

Toward Semantic Representation of Science in Electronic Laboratory Notebooks ...Stuart Chalk
An electronic laboratory Notebook (ELN) can be characterized as a system that allows scientists to capture the data and resources used in performing scientific experiments. This allows users to easily organize and find their data however, little information about the scientific process is recorded.
In this paper we highlight the current status of progress toward semantic representation of science in ELNs.
Charleston 2012 - The Future of Serials in a Linked Data WorldProQuest
The educational objective of this session is to review today’s MARC-based environment in which the serial record predominates, and compare that with what might be possible in a future world of linked data. The session will inspire conversation and reflection on a number of questions. What will a world of statement-based rather than record-based metadata look like? What will a new environment mean for library systems, workflows, and information dissemination?

The Importance of Metadata - EUDAT Summer School (Shaun de Witt, CCFE)EUDAT
Shaun will explain the importance of metadata for data discovery, provenance, reproducibility and reuse. Without sufficient metadata and documentation, research data cannot be found or understood. Providing this contextual information is critical for data to be FAIR. The topics of metadata ontologies and folksonomies are also discussed. This talk aims at giving the participants an understanding of the importance of metadata for both collaborative research and to ensure the usefulness of the data into the future, as well as an idea of what makes ‘good’ metadata.

What Are Links in Linked Open Data? A Characterization and Evaluation of Link...Armin Haller
Linked Open Data promises to provide guiding principles to publish interlinked knowledge graphs on the Web in the form of findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable datasets. In this talk I argue that while as such, Linked Data may be viewed as a basis for instantiating the FAIR principles, there are still a number of open issues that cause significant data quality issues even when knowledge graphs are published as Linked Data. In this talk I will first define the boundaries of what constitutes a single coherent knowledge graph within Linked Data, i.e., present a principled notion of what a dataset is and what links within and between datasets are. I will also define different link types for data in Linked datasets and present the results of our empirical analysis of linkage among the datasets of the Linked Open Data cloud. Recent results from our analysis of Wikidata, which has not been part of the Linked Open Data Cloud, will also be presented.
Science is rapidly being brought into the electronic realm and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) are a big part of this activity. The representation of the scientific process in the context of an ELN is an important component to making the data recorded in ELNs semantically integrated.
This presentation outlined initial developments of an Electronic Notebook Ontology (ENO) that will help tie together the ExptML ontology, HCLS Community Profile data descriptions, and the VIVO-ISF ontology.
Metadata enriching and discovery at Solent University Library Getaneh Alemu
Metadata enriching and discovery at Solent University Library / Getaneh Alemu
In today’s challenging financial environment, we at Solent are convinced that access, usage, impact and return on investment in library resources are ever more important. At Solent, 90% of the resources budget goes onto digital resources (e-books, e-journals and databases), and usage drives everything. We place particular emphasis on the function of the cataloguing and metadata part of our work. Metadata plays an important role to ensuring print and electronic resources are discoverable and usable by users as well as supporting the circulation, acquisition and interlibrary loan functions of a library (Alemu & Stevens, 2015; Haynes, 2018; Gartner, 2016; Zeng & Qin, 2016). “Metadata plays a critical role in the function of any discovery service. Search, relevancy ranking, faceted refinement, and recording grouping function (FRBR) all respond to the metadata present” (Han & Weathers, 2016, p, 276 in Varnum, 2016).
Metadata aides acquisition – the more we know about a resource, the more likely we acquire the right one. Metadata also aides usage – as undiscoverable resources do not get used. To this end, we are early adopters of RDA and FRBR. Currently, we are also part of the Jisc Hub Discovery where we share our bibliographic data. This short paper argues that metadata that is enriched, linked, open and filtered drives usage of resource (Alemu, 2014).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. Why share metadata?
Benefits to users
One-stop searching
Aggregation of subject-specific resources
Benefits to institutions
Increased exposure for collections
Broader user base
Bringing together of distributed collections
Don’t expect users will know about your
collection and remember to visit it.
7. Shareable metadata defined
Promotes search interoperability - “the ability to
perform a search over diverse sets of metadata
records and obtain meaningful results” (Priscilla
Caplan)
Is human understandable outside of its local
context
Is useful outside of its local context
Preferably is machine processable
8. Two efforts to promote shareable

9. Finding the right balance
Metadata providers know the materials
Document encoding schemes and controlled
vocabularies
Document practices
Ensure record validity
Aggregators have the processing power
Format conversion
Reconcile known vocabularies
Normalize data
Batch metadata enhancement
10. Metadata as a view of the resource
There is no monolithic, one-size-fits-all
metadata record
Metadata for the same thing is different
depending on use and audience
Affected by format, content, and context
Harry Potter as represented by…
a public library
an online bookstore
a fan site
11. Choice of vocabularies as a view
Names
Places
LCNAF: Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564
ULAN: Buonarroti, Michelangelo
LCSH: Jakarta (Indonesia)
TGN: Jakarta
Subjects
LCSH: Neo-impressionism (Art)
AAT: Pointillism
12. Choice of metadata format(s) as a view
Depends upon:
nature of materials and holding institution
depth of description needed
community practice
relationships between multiple versions
need for repeating elements
technical environment
MARC, MODS, Dublin Core, EAD, and TEI may
all be appropriate for a single item
High-quality metadata in a format not common in
your community of practice is not shareable
13. 6 Cs and lots of Ss of shareable metadata
Content
Consistency
Coherence
Context
Communication
Conformance
Metadata standards
(and not just DC)
Vocabulary and encoding standards
Descriptive content standards
(AACR2, CCO, DACS)
Technical standards
(XML, Character encoding, etc)
15. Common content mistakes
No indication of vocabulary used
Shared record for a single page in a book
Link goes to search interface rather than item
being described
“Unknown” or “N/A” in metadata record
16. Consistency
Records in a set should all reflect the same
practice
Fields used
Vocabularies
Syntax encoding schemes
Allows aggregators to apply same
enhancement logic to an entire group of
records
18. Coherence
Record should be self-explanatory
Values must appear in appropriate elements
Repeat fields instead of “packing” to explicitly
indicate where one value ends and another
begins
19. Common Coherency Mistakes
Assumptions that records make sense
outside of local environment
Use of local jargon
Poor mappings to shared metadata format
Records lack enhancement that makes them
understandable outside of local environment
20. Context
Include information not used locally
Exclude information only used locally
Current safe assumptions
Users discover material through shared record
User then delivered to your environment for full
context
Context driven by intended use
21. Common context mistakes
Leaving out information that applies to an
entire collection (“On a horse”)
Location information lacking parent institution
Geographic information lacking higher-level
jurisdiction
Inclusion of administrative metadata
22. Communication
Method for creating shared records
Vocabularies and content standards used in
shared records
Record updating practices and schedules
Accrual practices and schedules
Existence of analytical or supplementary
materials
Provenance of materials
25. Before you share…
Check your metadata
Appropriate view?
Consistent?
Context provided?
Does the aggregator have what they need?
Documented?
Can a stranger tell you what the record
describes?
26. Final thoughts
Creating shareable metadata requires
thinking outside of your local box
Creating shareable metadata will require
more work on your part
Creating shareable metadata will require our
vendors to support (more) standards
Creating shareable metadata is no longer an
option, it’s a requirement
