AbstractThe paper examines the knowledge and practices of catalogers at the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Public Libraries (CCTML). The study aims to understand the extent to which catalogers understand current and emerging cataloging practices and to make recommendations for improving practice. The extent of access and the use of library resources depends greatly upon the quality of the library catalog. The following research questions were formulated: what cataloging knowledge do catalogers of CCTML have? How is cataloging carried out in CCTML? What challenges do catalogers of CCTML experience in cataloging library resources? Qualitative approach and case study design were employed. The population of the study was made of 6 catalogers. Data was collected through the focus group interview. Findings indicated that catalogers had knowledge of cataloging standards. They downloaded the catalog records from the OCLC although, they also created original catalog records in case they did not find the matching manifestations on OCLC. Moreover, they experienced challenges of assigning subject headings for non-roman scripts, allocation of the correct classification notation and the advanced use of the cataloging standards. The study recommends the exchange programmes in cataloguing, use of technological tools, artificial intelligence in cataloging.Keywords: Catalogcatalogingcataloging knowledgeartificial intelligence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractResearch Data Management (RDM) is a complex process and to ensure good RDM practice, one of the ways is to associate or create Data Management Plans (DMPs) with every research project. Interestingly this opens up other challenges such as finding the corresponding DMP for a research dataset. It is sometimes difficult or impossible to find a particular DMP associated with a dataset, which undermines the actual value of DMPs. This is the result of poor metadata management of DMPs throughout their creation using a DMP tool to their archiving. Implementing adequate metadata management for the description and organization of DMPs might solve this issue. We have examined 12 open-source DMP tools, in particular, to evaluate the metadata adopted by these tools. The current study spots and highlights the gaps in the DMP metadata management in DMP tools and suggests DMPFrame as a conceptual framework addressing such gaps to improve the existing tools’ DMP metadata management practices. Based on the examined DMP tool’s metadata elements analysis and mapping, DMPFrame manages DMP metadata under 6 categories, namely, contributors, project, funding, organization, DMP, and output. The current study also suggests a systematic workflow that DMP tools could incorporate for metadata creation for DMPs.Keywords: DMP metadataresearch data managementdata management planDMPFrameDMPDMP toolRDM Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 VIVO: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/VIVO/VIVO+ontology+design+principles2 CERIF: https://eurocris.org/eurocris_archive/cerifsupport.org/cerif-in-brief/index.html

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC21) metadata scheme for addressing the specific needs of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of Varanasi in terms of classification, storage, preservation, and retrieval. Methodology: This study conducts a thorough review of manuals, research papers, and relevant literature on MARC21 in the context of Intangible Cultural Heritage. It explores the specific attributes and their requirements associated with different ICHs of Varanasi. Findings: The analysis of the Machine Readable Catalogue MARC21 reveals that its support for ICH is fragmented and falls short to encompass the diversity of ICHs for effective access. This underscores the importance of creating a dedicated metadata element set specifically tailored for ICHs. Practical implications: This study emphasizes the need to develop a metadata element set to support the amount of ICH information like unique techniques, performing arts, craftsmanship, attire, and social practices initiatives outlined in the “Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage” by UNESCO. Originality: This study sheds light on the overlooked problem of the specific needs of ICHs in terms of storage and retrieval. It highlights the significant challenges associated with the long-term preservation and retrieval of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

AbstractIndispensable in many contexts, images are fundamental in the tasks of representation and transmission of information. In the scientific context, images can be tools for researchers seeking to see their data properly managed. Research data management guides in this direction as it determines necessary phases in the life cycle of projects. The description phase is fundamental as it is an essential means for data context, safeguarding, and reuse. The description often occurs through metadata models composed of descriptors capable of attributing context. However, there is one common aspect: the values associated with these descriptors are always textual or numeric. Through studies and work developed over the last few years, we propose a new approach to description, where images can have a preponderant role in the description of data, assuming the role of metadata. We present several pieces of evidence, point out their challenges and determine the opportunities this new perspective can have in the research. Images have specific characteristics that can be leveraged in improving data description. Historical evidence establish that images have always been used and produced in research, yet their representational ability has never been harnessed to describe data and give more context to the scientific process.Keywords: research data managementimagesmetadatadescriptionimage as metadata Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 https://journalofbiogeographynews.org/2021/05/22/how-to-write-a-great-perspective-article/2 https://www.growkudos.com/?utm_source=navbar-logo3 https://biocanvas.net/4 https://bbsrc.tumblr.com/5 https://bpod.mrc.ac.uk/Additional informationFundingJoana Rodrigues is supported by research grant from FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia: PD/BD/150288/2019.
摘要:图像在许多情况下都是必不可少的，它是信息表达和传递的基础。在科学背景下，图像可以成为研究人员寻求正确管理数据的工具。研究数据管理指导在这个方向上，因为它决定了项目生命周期中的必要阶段。描述阶段是基本的，因为它是数据上下文、保护和重用的基本手段。描述通常通过元数据模型进行，元数据模型由能够对上下文进行归属的描述符组成。然而，有一个共同的方面:与这些描述符相关联的值总是文本或数字。通过过去几年的研究和工作，我们提出了一种新的描述方法，其中图像可以在数据描述中发挥主导作用，承担元数据的角色。我们提出了一些证据，指出了它们面临的挑战，并确定了这种新视角在研究中的机会。图像具有可用于改进数据描述的特定特征。历史证据表明，图像一直在研究中使用和产生，但它们的代表性能力从未被用来描述数据，并为科学过程提供更多背景。关键词:研究数据管理magesmetadatadesdescriptionimage as metadata披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 https://journalofbiogeographynews.org/2021/05/22/how-to-write-a-great-perspective-article/2 https://www.growkudos.com/?utm_source=navbar-logo3 https://biocanvas.net/4 https://bbsrc.tumblr.com/5 https://bpod.mrc.ac.uk/Additional信息基金joana Rodrigues得到FCT - funda o para a Ciência e tecologia: PD/BD/150288/2019的研究资助。

Abstract How aggregators reconcile repositories’ user-supplied subject keywords is a growing challenge in the metadata profession. While aggregators allow users to search across multiple databases to find information, the search capability is only as good as the supplied metadata. This paper is a case study of a project to reconcile harvested metadata keywords within a research data discovery service. The Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) Discovery Service is a national, bilingual platform for discovering Canadian research data that harvests metadata from over 90 repositories. This paper outlines the work of a cross-Canada, volunteer group of experts who attempted to develop a semi-automated workflow to map the FRDR subject keywords to Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) to improve discoverability. The authors, who were members of the working group, discuss why the project failed, the problems encountered, and their thoughts on the future of automated metadata reconciliation.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to suggest that cataloguing community could benefit by publishing the catalogue records on the cloud using BIBFRAME model with its vocabularies to increase access of the library collection beyond the library. A desk research based on literature review extracted from different information sources. Literature was interpreted based on the search of the researcher on key concepts of the topic. Literature indicates that the establishments that publishes their catalogue on the cloud receive more exposure. Adoption of BIBFRAME could benefit the library users as genuine information published by the libraries will be available on the web.

Abstract In the fall of 2019, Collections as Data: Part to Whole awarded a grant to the Louisiana State University (LSU) Libraries for the “Louisiana Digital Library (LDL) as Data” project. This funded project allowed LDL institutions to collaboratively explore policies and practices for creating digital collections and associated metadata that are computationally usable and ethically grounded. This case study, which is informed by guiding principles from the “Santa Barbara Statement on Collections as Data,” describes how LDL metadata policies along with developments that resulted from this project encourage and enable the creation of metadata that supports collections as data within a multi-institutional digital library. Some of these developments are technical in nature, such as the revision of LDL documentation to encourage the use of standardized rights statements and the addition of a Harmful Content Notice field. Others are community-focused, such as programming to facilitate shared learning among LDL collection administrators. Ultimately, this case study illustrates that digital libraries with a multi-institutional structure can effectively develop their metadata strategies by providing resources to and fostering dialogue among all library contributors.

Abstract This paper focuses on strategies for attaching technical infrastructural environmental metadata to narrow band multi-spectral images of cultural heritage objects. It also provides a review and analysis of previous projects involving multi-spectral images and their approaches to attaching metadata elements at the image level. This is followed by a detailed description of the strategies applied at KU Leuven Libraries to successfully and consistently attach standardized metadata that covers all areas of importance of the image capture. This aims to give users full understanding of the dataset and to allow interoperability and reproducibility. In addition to this, the documents created to ensure the consistency of the metadata entered and outline the specific infrastructure present at KU Leuven, are discussed. This includes the considerations of their implementation and the digitization workflows to produce metadata records.

Abstract Linked data technologies are natural fits for building and managing controlled vocabularies and authorities, especially in a crowd-sourced environment where managing data integrity can be a challenge. This paper considers the role of researchers in contributing to the health and maintenance the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts, particularly as it relates to its local Name Authority. It will also demonstrate how applying Linked Open Data technologies and processes in the SDBM can facilitate the symbiotic relationship between the SDBM user community–the “crowd”– and its data as well as prepare the data for reuse in other LOD contexts like Wikidata.

Abstract Rubbings are of high value for preserving and disseminating culture and civilizations and for humanities and scientific research. Describing and cataloging rubbings affects the way we use them and in turn, affects resource discovery. This article aims to study various rubbings metadata schemes worldwide to investigate the common ground and differences between rubbing descriptions. This study adopts a qualitative comparative research method. A comparative guide with structural, functional, and cultural factors, the Relationship Model of Chinese Rubbings, and a six-category typology of metadata were used to compare seven metadata schemes. At last, a Chinese rubbing case and a brass rubbing case were used to examine and understand the scope of the schemes. The result shows the institutional, regional, and cultural differences including the different purposes of the schemes and substantial differences in the numbers of fields, structures, coverages, and granularities.

Kipp","doi":"10.1080/19386389.2022.2144086","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19386389.2022.2144086","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Rubbings are of high value for preserving and disseminating culture and civilizations and for humanities and scientific research. Describing and cataloging rubbings affects the way we use them and in turn, affects resource discovery. This article aims to study various rubbings metadata schemes worldwide to investigate the common ground and differences between rubbing descriptions. This study adopts a qualitative comparative research method. A comparative guide with structural, functional, and cultural factors, the Relationship Model of Chinese Rubbings, and a six-category typology of metadata were used to compare seven metadata schemes. At last, a Chinese rubbing case and a brass rubbing case were used to examine and understand the scope of the schemes. The result shows the institutional, regional, and cultural differences including the different purposes of the schemes and substantial differences in the numbers of fields, structures, coverages, and granularities. It also shows the common features of the schemes, especially in resource linking. When using a scheme to describe different types of rubbings, information loss or overfit of the schemes may occur.","PeriodicalId":39057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library Metadata","volume":"98 5","pages":"235 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72632140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
