Metadata Discussion Group
Meeting The next Metadata
Discussion Group meeting will be on
Tuesday, October 2 from 9:30am
-10:30am in the
Wells Library,
Room 043. The Metadata Discussion
Group meets monthly to discuss metadata issues
pertaining to libraries, archives, and
museums. The group has no formal
membership. Library staff, SLIS faculty and
students, and those on campus interested in the
topic are welcome to attend.
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative best
practices call for one record for each resource,
i.e., when a photograph is digitized, one
record is created for the physical photograph and
one record is created for the digital image.
Full realization of a FRBR model for LAMS data
seems to rely, in part, on adherence to the 1:1 rule.
Do you work with multiple instantiations of
the same intellectual work? Do you create
unique records for each instantiation of a
resource? What exactly is the benefit of
creating all of these records? Join us and
we'll chat about it!
DATE: Tuesday, October 2
TIME: 9:30am - 10:30 am
PLACE: Wells Library 043
