Historical Prairie Postcards in RDF/XML
No full textThis is a set of RDF/XML metadata records for historical prairie postcards. These were transformed from the original MODS records using the Library of Congress mods2rdf stylesheet. This base file was used as the basis of several visualizations and enhancements demonstrating the power of linked data, and was presented on at the Access Conference in Toronto, ON in 2015.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Knowledge Organization in Support of an Indigenous Worldview: A Community Driven Metadata Framework for the Inuvialuit Digital Library
Full text linkDigital libraries are online platforms for organizing, sharing, and providing access to resources. Ideally, they are developed by, with, and for specific user communities. Metadata frameworks, as integral components of digital libraries, should also reflect the needs and serve the interests of those communities. In this paper I report on one aspect of my research working collaboratively with members of the Inuvialuit community in the northwestern part of Canada to explore and articulate a culturally responsive metadata framework for their digital library of cultural resources
Metadata as Data: Exploring Ethical Metadata Sharing and Access for Indigenous Resources Through OCAP Principles
No full textMetadata is often defined as “data about data”, and although practitioners and scholars often broaden that definition, there may be value in approaching metadata as a type of data when addressing questions of ethical sharing and access. In this conceptual paper I review the challenges of ethical metadata practice for Indigenous resources, and explore the potential of the OCAP: Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession framework to act as a common language that Indigenous communities and metadata scholars and practitioners can use to engage in meaningful conversations about ethical metadata access and sharing.Les métadonnées sont souvent définies comme des «données sur les données» et bien que les professionnels et les chercheurs élargissent souvent cette définition, il peut être valable d\u27aborder les métadonnées comme un type de données lorsqu\u27on aborde les questions de partage et d\u27accès éthique. Dans cet article conceptuel, je passe en revue les défis de la pratique éthique des métadonnées pour les ressources autochtones et explore le potentiel du cadre PCAP: propriété, contrôle, accès et possession, pour servir de langage commun aux communautés autochtones et aux spécialistes et aux professionnels des métadonnées afin d’engager des conversations significatives sur l\u27accès et le partage des métadonnées éthiques
