Finding, interpreting, and manipulating the rich trove of data already present in MARC bibliographic records to produce systematized forms is an invaluable step in moving MARC toward a post-MARC, Linked Data future. Name access points, especially those fields in a controlled form, are the obvious place to find relationship information, but bibliographic notes and statements of responsibility are relatively overlooked sources of that information, waiting to be parsed and used. The Online Computer Library Center has been investigating means by which to find names and their associated role phrases, to match those names to authorized forms, and to match role terms and phrases to controlled vocabularies.

The underlying conceptual models and assumptions present in works-based bibliographic systems are at odds with the ontological status of music as something that takes place in time. One approach to modeling metadata for music is to use the idea of the music scene. A number of key debates of popular music scenes research are introduced and then two short cases studies are used to demonstrate the challenges and opportunities music presents to the construction of metadata for music, particularly in relation to the idea of music scenes and linked open data. Finally some questions for future work and areas of critique are presented.

We propose a methodology for building consistent metadata for the description of scientific working documents. Our methodology is supported by distributed cognitive theoretical principles and implemented through a combination of anthropological, semantic, and linguistic approaches. Our analysis is applied to a particular pharmacist activity—namely, the adaptation of posology. Issues focus on the representation of situations that describe individuals, tools, and artifacts. Regular relations between these situations characterize types that allow the description of conceptual contents associated with these empirical objects. Because these situations and types are expressed by a set of metadata and then associated with current metadata, our proposal extends the nature of entities described by metadata to useful internal activity artifacts.

This article discusses some of the most popular automated and semi-automated approaches currently used in libraries to harvest electronic theses and dissertations’ (ETD) metadata from institutional repositories (IR) to the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). The approaches presented are divided into four main sections: (1) completely automated approaches, (2) semi-automated approaches that rely on ProQuest Services, (3) semi-automated approaches that rely on highly technical tools, and (4) semi-automated approaches that rely on the MarcEdit OAI Harvester. An analysis, including limitations and barriers to implementation, is provided and solely based on case studies presented throughout the library literature, on presentations, and on the author's and other institutions’ experiences. Recommendations for future research and suggestions for improvements are provided.

Recent surveys have indicated that training available for the new cataloging standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA), has been slow to reach many academic institutions, particularly small- and medium-sized libraries. These surveys have shown that smaller institutions have reported being particularly behind in transitioning to RDA due to lack of training and also indicate that in-house training, while preferred by a large population of catalogers and metadata specialists, is typically not available due to constraints on staffing, cost, and time. By discussing a case study of in-house RDA training provided at Oakland University, this paper addresses RDA training needs in small- to medium-sized academic institutions and the potential to provide the personalized, in-person training desired by the professional community. Training was offered in a hybrid online and in-person environment to the entire library faculty and staff for a 6-week period, resulting in the transition to RDA shortly after the official Library of Congress adoption date of March 31, 2013.

Language used to describe resources in an institutional repository may benefit from the consistency offered by a controlled vocabulary and an introduction into the larger linked data universe. Transitioning to a linked data vocabulary presents concerns regarding the effectiveness of mapping pre-existing terms and the potential for semantic loss. This paper describes such a transition to OCLC's FAST vocabulary in the University of Kansas institutional repository. It analyzes the outcomes of this transition and its subsequent impact on resource usage when exposed as linked data.

The number of electronic archives holding image documents such as posters, in addition to textual materials, is increasing. For digitized poster collections the use of metadata is essential for their operation; with the help of metadata, these electronic documents can be efficiently sorted and retrieved. The research study presents the main characteristics of posters, summarizes the difficulties in their technical processing, and describes the XML-based schema for storing the metadata of posters.

This article outlines the creation of computer game platform and media format Linked Open Data (LOD) controlled vocabularies by the Game Metadata and Citation Project (GAMECIP). We discuss the need for more consistent and accurate information in computer game library records, define what we mean by “platform” and “media format,” and then elaborate on our research process and issues encountered along the way. Our vocabularies were constructed with the Simple Knowledge Organization System to take advantage of its properties and hierarchical structure. After describing our LOD schema in detail, we conclude with a discussion of future work and a call for more collaboration.

Facing a complex metadata environment, it is challenging to implement strategies for optimizing metadata workflows in digital repositories. Running scripted applications and batch processing cost libraries additional resources, while not reducing time implementing metadata. In order to improve the efficiency of metadata batch processing, the authors propose an open source browser extension that can easily be installed and executed for any digital repository. The authors also suggest that functional fixedness issues exist in the library profession and encourage librarians to discover solutions to address such issues and to improve library works.

This study explains the results of an online survey of academic institutional repositories in the United States conducted in an effort to answer the following questions: (a) What metadata do institutional repositories use to describe and provide access to their theses and dissertations? (b) What quality control is being done for this metadata, and are quality control and controlled vocabulary even important in a digital repository? The survey found a general consensus among institutions on using the title, abstract, type, author, and subject fields. While there was disagreement on the importance of controlled vocabulary, respondents agreed quality control was important.
