JISC: LMAP

noreply@ (pintini) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:13:45 +0100

Phil Barker, du JISC Cetis, rend accessible ce draft report consacré aux résultats d'une étude de faisabilité menée dans le cadre du JISC et relative à LMAP (Learning Materials Application Profile), c'est-à-dire aux métadonnées liées aux divers supports et ressources d'enseignement.

"This report details the findings of a scoping study carried out for the JISC to investigate a potential metadata application profile for learning materials. The objective of the study was to synthesize and analyse the advice that is currently available to managers of repositories containing educational materials who need to define a metadata element set to describe those materials. The hope was that this would help define the scope of a potential Learning Materials Application Profile. There was no intention to produce an application profile as part of this work, nor was the work limited to any particular metadata schema.
Our starting point was that "learning materials" were likely to be of many different resource types (images, videos, simulations, etc.), and that each resource type would have its own metadata requirements and conventions. Furthermore, metadata would be required to support a range of activities (resource discovery, collection management, supporting accessibility, etc.), again each activity would have its own metadata requirements and conventions. Representatives from expert groups and communities relevant to each metadata specialism were interviewed in order to ascertain the range of advice available. These interviews form the basis of the synthesis of metadata requirements given in this report. In order to analyse these requirements two domain models were investigated. One model concerns the functional units of a repository, the other model concerns the entities being described by the metadata and the relationships between them. Using these it is possible to see how the metadata requirements for various resource types and activities relate to each other, to the internal and external interactions of a repository, and to the resources being described.

Facing Forward: The Challenges Facing Cataloging and Catalogers
(source: Diane Hillmann, 17/10/08 / via The FRBR Blog)

"This presentation discusses issues surrounding the implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) in libraries. It also covers the work done by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative/RDA Task Group with provisional forms of RDA Elements, Roles and Vocabularies, how these relate to existing AACR2-MARC21 based applications, and how the library community might use metadata in a more forward-looking way."

[Livre] Métadonnées: mutations et perspectives

Métadonnées: mutations et perspectives (Séminaire INRIA, 29 septembre-3 octobre 2008 - Dijon, ADBS, 2008)

"Alors que la majorité des ressources documentaires sont maintenant en ligne, la question de l'accès à ces textes, sons, images et données se pose de façon toujours plus aiguë. Pour que la recherche d'information gagne en pertinence et en précision, pour que l'accès aux ressources numériques soit facilité, les index, thésaurus, taxonomies, ontologies et autres formes de langages documentaires coexistent dans un web qui devient de plus en plus sémantique.
Si le terme métadonnée s'est imposé ces dernières années, il ne s'agit pas simplement d'un glissement de vocabulaire. Créées par des humains (auteurs du document ou médiateurs) ou des machines, les métadonnées permettent de décrire, mais aussi de structurer et d'organiser un document et l'information qu'il contient. La notion même de document en est bouleversée.
Les mutations récentes et les perspectives d'évolution de ces métadonnées constituaient le thème du séminaire « IST et informatique » proposé par l'INRIA en 2008 pour faire le point sur ce qui constitue le coeur de métier des spécialistes de l'information et de la documentation : la description des documents et la représentation des connaissances ; et pour s'interroger sur l'impact des changements en cours sur leurs pratiques et leurs métiers."

XML et métadonnées: aspect socio-technique

Structural Metadata and the Social Limitation of Interoperability: A Sociotechnical View of XML and Digital Library Standards Development
(source: Balisage: The Markup Conference, août 08)

"Ten years after its endorsement by the World Wide Web Consortium, XML has achieved a high degree of adoption within numerous, disparate communities and in a vast range of application domains, from standards for electronic filing of federal income tax (Internal Revenue Service, 2007) to user interface design (Goodger et al., 2001). The digital library community has been an active and early adopter of XML, for use in structuring both content and metadata. The reasons for this rapid uptake of XML within the digital library community are familiar to anyone with experience in the world of markup languages:
- XML helps ensure platform (and perhaps more critically vendor) independence;
- XML provides the multilingual character support critical to the handling of library materials;
- XML's extensibility and modularity allow libraries to customize its application within their own operating environments;
- XML helps minimize software development costs by allowing libraries to leverage existing, open source development tools;
- XML, through virtue of being an open standard which enables descriptive markup, may assist in the long-term preservation of electronic materials; and perhaps most importantly
- XML provides a technological basis for interoperability of both content and metadata across library systems.
For all of these reasons, XML-based content standards such as the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) have seen wide adoption within the library community, and librarians have been actively engaged in the development of a number of XML-based metadata standards, including Encoded Archival Description (EAD), Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), Metadata Authority Description Schema (MADS), Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS), Metadata for Images in XML (MIX), MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration Language (DIDL), Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE), Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) and many others. XML is now widely used throughout the research library world, and is a fundamental part of the infrastructure developed within the digital library community over the past decade."

Using Personas to Understand the Needs and Goals of Institutional Repository Users

"This study shares the results of an effort to understand the needs and goals of future institutional repository (IR) users at the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB). Due to underutilization of IRs at other institutions, the University Libraries at UCB decided it was imperative that insight into users' goals and needs of an IR be gained before design of the repository began. The libraries partnered with faculty and students with expertise in human-computer interaction to study user needs. The results of this study yielded "personas" describing different classes of potential IR users on university campuses, which can be used to guide IR architects in designing repositories that facilitate increased participation."

Using METS, PREMIS and MODS for Archiving eJournals

"As institutions turn towards developing archival digital repositories, many decisions on the use of metadata have to be made. In addition to deciding on the more traditional descriptive and administrative metadata, particular care needs to be given to the choice of structural and preservation metadata, as well as to integrating the various metadata components. This article reports on the use of METS structural, PREMIS preservation and MODS descriptive metadata for the British Library's eJournal system. "
