Abstract

The goal of the State Library of Queensland's Metadata Project is the deployment of metadata using the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set in the State Library' WWW Web pages. The deployment of metadata is expected to improve resource discovery by Internet users, through provision of index information (metadata) in State Library Web pages which is then available to search engines for indexing. The project is also an initial attempt to set standards for metadata deployment in queensland libraries Web pages

Abstract

Comments on the value of abstracts or summary notes to information available online via the Internet and WWW and concludes that automated abstracting techniques would be highly useful if routinely applied to cataloguing or metadata for Internet documents and documents in other databases. Information seekers need external summary information to assess content and value of retrieved documents. Examines traditional models for writers, in library audiovisual cataloguing, periodical databases and archival work, along with innovative new model databases featuring robust cataloguing summaries. Notes recent developments in automated techniques, computational research, and machine summarization of digital images. Recommendations are made for future designers of cataloguing and metadata standards

Abstract

We discuss the issues of resolving the information-retrieval problem in large digital collections through the identification and use of document genres. Explicit identification of genre seems particularly important for such collections because any search usually retrieves documents with a diversity of genres that are undifferentiated by obvious clues as to their identity. Also, because most genres are characterized by both form and purpose, identifying the genre of a document provides information as to the document's purpose and its fit to the user's situation, which can be otherwise difficult to assess. We begin by outlining the possible role of genre identification in the information-retrieval process. Our assumption is that genre identification would enhance searching, first because we know that topic alone is not enough to define an information problem and, second, because search results containing genre information would be more easily understandable. Next, we discuss how information professionals have traditionally tackled the issues of representing genre in settings where topical representation is the norm. Finally, we address the issues of studying the efficacy of identifying genre in large digital collections. Because genre is often an implicit notion, studying it in a systematic way presents many problems. We outline a research protocol that would provide guidance for identifying Web document genres, for observing how genre is used in searching and evaluating search results, and finally for representing and visualizing genres.

Abstract

It is apparent that, despite the common reference to the World Wide Web as a "digital library", it lacks any of the organising features which would be expected from a library. The rate of growth of Web resources is such that they have grown, and continue to grow, beyond the ability of human intervention to catalogue them or control access to them. The software tools which have so far emerged to assist searching are inadequate for the task, but it is hoped that a development in standards will lead to documents being created with the "hooks" in place, which will facilitate their retrieval by tools yet to be developed. Dublin Core metadata appears to be the optimum such emergent standard, and its use is to be encouraged among Web authors.

Abstract

A 1 day seminar was held in Aug 1997, in Synney, Australia, sponsored by the Information science Section of the australia Library and Information Association, on metadata. It focused on building a conceptual framework for metadata. The National Library is developing PANDORA (Preserving and Accessing Networked documentary Resources of Australia) an electronic archive designed to provide long term access to significant Australian online publications. An architecture for access to government information has been developed. The Distributed System Technology Centre's Resource Discivery Project Unit has developed an information presentation tool called HyperIndex and a meta-data searcher called HotOIL

Abstract

The relationship between library catalogues and electronic resources differs from that between catalogues and physical materials, particularly with regard to cataloguing rules, which were originally designed to help users of card catalogues to find physical works on library shelves. However, these rules apply awkwardly to electronic resources because functionally different electronic works raise special cataloguinf issues. Discusses the problems of describing remote electronic resources in online catalogues with particular reference to the InterCat project: a nationwide experiment to create a database of Internet resources in MARC format, containing description, location and access information (including PURLs = Persitent URLs)). Concludes that descriptive information helps the user identify the works needed, but that it is practical to provide only minimal desriptive information for remote electronic resources in the catalogue record. To a limited extent, the access lost from reduced description can be replaced with new cataloguing techniques designed to stabilize the catalogue record

Abstract

The Day was held in Oct 96 to inform about developments in dexcription of electronic documents. Metadata are necessary to aid handling of electronic network resources. A workshop in Dublin Mar 95 compiled 13 elements needed to identify a document-like object, while the Warwick workshop Apr 96 proposed a framework for electronic entries with more metadata types than the Dublin Core. The Nordic Metadata Project aims to evaluate existing metadata format; develop the Dublic Core; make conversion of the Core to the Nordic MARC format possible; and set up a metadata search service for Nordic Internet documents. At the 2nd International Conference on Conceptions of Library and Information Science, Copenhagen Oct 96 a metadata structure for research profiles on Internet homepages was proposed

Abstract

A 5th metadata workshop was held in Helsinki in Oct 1997, cosponsored by the National Library of Finland and OCLC, and 75 experts continued work begun in 1995 to try and reach consensus on conventions for describing resources on the Internet. Representatives of the W3C Metadata Project presented the 1st draft of a new specification for extended Web metadata: the Resource Description Framework (RDF), and demonstrated how this meets the infrastructure and encoding arrangements identified at the series of international Dublin Core workshops. W3C is an industry consortium run jointly by institutions in the USA, France and Japan, and currently has 210 members

Abstract

Examines international efforts to promote metadata as a common, interactive resource description tool for the Internet. These efforts centre on the Dublin Core Element Set, but include qualifiers such as those promoted by the Canberra Qualifiers. The LoC Network Development and MARC Standards Office maintains the Dublin Core / MARC / GILS (Government Information Location Standards) crosswalk which maps the common and correlative elements of each system. Describes current international initiatives and issues. Describes the Nordic metadata project which is aiming to create the basic elements of a metadata production and utilization system based on the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. Describes the WWW consortium efforts in this area

Abstract

CORC is an OCLC project that id developing tools and systems to enable libraries to provide enhanced access to Internet resources. By adapting and extending library techniques and procedures, we are developing a self-supporting system capable of describing a large and useful subset of the Web. CORC is more a system for hosting and supporting subject gateways than a gateway itself and relies on large-scale cooperation among libraries to maintain a centralized database. By supporting emerging metadata standards such as Dublin Core and other standards such as Unicode and RDF, CORC broadens the range of libraries and librarians able to participate. Current plans are for OCLC as a full service in July 2000

Abstract

Reports results of a study of 4 WWW search engines: AltaVista; Lycos; Excite and WebCrawler to collect data on Web objects on polymer chemistry. 1.037 Web objects were examined for data in 4 categories: document information; use of meta fields; use of images and use of chemical names. Issues raised included: whether to provide metadata elements for parts of entities or whole entities only, the use of metasyntax, problems in representation of special types of objects, and whether links should be considered when encoding metadata. Use of metafields was not widespread in the sample and knowledge of metafields in HTML varied greatly among Web object creators. The study formed part of a metadata project funded by the OCLC Library and Information Science Research Grant Program

Abstract

Discusses how information will be found in digital libraries of the future. Suggests that a metadata approach to cataloguing will prevail, whereby the content of the data will be analysed at source, rather than on receipt by an intermediary, altering the role of the cataloguer, who will be required to evaluate as well as classify and index. Web site administrators may have to provide site metadata for use by global indexers; provides some examples of projects aimed at developing standards and assisting information providers in creating descriptive metadata

Abstract

At present cataloguing of Internet resources are on 2 levels. At level 1, the description of resources is contained in local library catalogues, along with bibliographic surrogates for all other materials that the library access, based on AACR2/MARC systems. At level 2, Internet resources are organized independently of any library agency. These include separate catalogues of selected resources, subject browsing lists and robot-generated search tools, and focus exclusively on Internet resources. A 3rd level needs to be developed - a metacatalogue - whereby a user can identify specific library catalogues to include in a search query of other Internet databases

Abstract

Internet resources have brought great excitement but also grave concerns to the library world, especially to the cataloging community. In spite of the various problematic aspects presented by Internet resources (poorly organized, lack of stability, variable quality), catalogers have decided that they are worth cataloging, in particular those meeting library selection criteria. This paper tries to trace the decade-long history of the library comrnunity's efforts in providing an effective way to catalog Internet resources. Basically, its olbjective is to answer the following questions: Why catalog? What to catalog? and, How to catalog. Some issues of cataloging electronic journals and developments of the Dublin Core Metadata system are also discussed.
