Expanding the Institutional Repository Mission: Innovating with Linked Data for NASA Digital Curation
No full textHistorically, NASA mission information has not been maintained in any single, accessible authority. To both achieve its goal of creating better connections in GSFCIR and to provide a valuable resource to present and future NASA communities, the Goddard Library is producing a linked data thesaurus of NASA mission names, including equivalence, hierarchical, and associative relationships. This presentation focuses on how the Library established the need for a NASA-focused linked data missions thesaurus, the careful process of domain analysis and vocabulary development, and its role in aiding future digital curation efforts as GSFCIR grows with new collections
Proposal of Application Profile for Digital Images for Libraries, Archives and Museums (DILAM) Conceptual Model
No full textThis posper presents the digital images for Libraries, Archives and Museum conceptual model (DILAM). DILAM's is based in several conceptual models from different application contexts and it was conceived in order to be compatible with the FRBR Model. DILAM might enable future developments of Dublin Core Application Profiles since it can give a starting base for the domain model development
A DCAP to Promote Easy-to-Use Data for Multiresolution and Multitemporal Satellite Imagery Analysis
No full textSatellite imagery can be exploited for any number of thematic analyses for Earth observation purposes. Characterization activities using remotely acquired data are currently made complicated by different limitations relating to, as an example, the meaningful mapping between multi-sensor data or the adding of the geospatial context to satellite information. We argue that describing satellite images through a metadata application profile may leverage capabilities to promote easy-to-use data for further in-depth thematic analysis. Accordingly, an application profile conforming to the Dublin Core application profile (DCAP) guidelines and dedicated to Earth observations(EO) is being developed. More specifically, we discuss RDF-compliant machine-processable aspects of the EO application profile (EOAP) in terms of the DCMI Description Set Profile(DSP) model. Additionally, a methodological approach to represent a DSP model using UML profiling activities is proposed
How Should We Teach Metadata? What Comparisons Between Job Ad and Classroom Trends Can Tell Us About Preparing LIS Students
No full textThis poster reports on a study that aims to identify emerging trends in medadata employment and potential deficits in metadata education. This study extends a prior one by Marcia Zeng, using the same sample and methodology. The findings will help instructors to align their instruction with needs in job market and will also complement recent studies on information organization courses and professional developments
Adopting the Dublin Core Standard for Describing Open Scientific Data: The e-Quilt Prototype Experiment
No full textThis research contextualizes the contemporary state of the scientific communication. The technological infrastructure, standards, protocols, tools, and methodologies are essential for scientific open data management. Our focus is on the scientific primary data and its sharing. It presents a experiment in which the prototype, named e-Quilt, is being developed. In its environment, an enhanced article and the scientific open data are presented. The research aims at adopting an infrastructure with standard and tool for upgrading the e-Quilt prototype. The adopted metadata standard was the Dublin Core. The technique was qualitative used for the independent and dependent variables. The analyze was focusing in the adequacy of the e-Quilt prototype in accordingly with the standard. The results presented that the enhanced article is complies with the Dublin Core standard
MOD: Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication
No full textOntology is an important artifact of Semantic Web applications. Today, there are an enormous number of ontologies available on the Web. Even so, finding and identifying the right ontology is not easy. This is because the majority of ontologies are either not described or described with a general-purpose metadata vocabulary like Dublin Core. On the other hand, ontology construction, irrespective of its types (e.g., general ontology, domain ontology, application ontology), is an expensive affair both in terms of human resources and other infrastructural resources. Hence, the ideal situation would be to reuse the existing ontologies to reduce the development effort and cost, and also to improve the quality of the original ontology. In the current work we present an ontology metadata vocabulary called Metadata for Ontology Description and publication (MOD). To design the vocabulary, we also propose a set of generic guiding principles and a well-established methodology which take into account real concerns of the ontology users and practitioners
Bringing a Small Archival Collection to Life on the Web: Remembering the Real Winnie
No full textThe purpose of this poster is to provide insight into the processes involved in creating a unique and interdisciplinary online exhibition focused on a unique chapter of Canadian history from World War I. The exhibition focuses on the Colebourn Family Archive comprising digitized photographs and ephemera of Canadian soldier and veterinarian Harry Colebourn (1887–1947) who purchased a pet bear named Winnie who later became A. A. Milne's inspiration for the classic Winnie-the-Pooh children's book series
Dublin Core Usage for Describing Documents in Brazilian Government Digital Libraries
No full textDigital libraries are increasingly common, being developed by government agencies to disseminate and preserve the documentation produced by its employees. This proposes a challenge in describing this type of documents, dealing official aspects in tools that are originally designed for bibliographic and scientific documents. In this sense, our objective is to verify how digital libraries, linked to the executive, legislative and judiciary Brazilian powers, are describing its documents collections. A study with descriptive and qualitative characteristics reveals the great adoption of DSpace software for creating these digital libraries and Dublin Core to describe the documents, showing DSpace and metadata schema adaptability for nonacademic document types. Thus, one contributes to the discussion on the use of Dublin Core to describe various types of documents on the Internet
Study of Adhesion between Dublin Core and Marc: Reviewing the Interoperability between UNESP and the National Library
No full textThis poster presents a study of interoperability between the National Library and the libraries of the UNESP, in order to identify the adhesion's degree between the MARC 21 standards and the Dublin Core fields present in import bibliographic records from these libraries
Do We Need Application Profiles? Reflections and Suggestions from Work in DCMI and ISO/IEC
No full textIn this paper, the authors question the role and naming of ‘application profiles’ (APs). It is not a research paper but aims to initiate a discussion that the authors think is pertinent. Both have been involved in the development and use of application profiles for some considerable time. This paper does not provide answers but aims to raise issues for others’ consideration. Essentially, the issues show that communities can share work easily through the interchange of APs but suggests that greater precision in their naming would be useful, and they may not always be necessary given current technologies
