Dear Scotslink Members
A date for your diaries. CoSMiC, the Confederation of
Scottish Mini Cooperatives (see http://cosmic.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/ )
will be holding a one day event on September 4th 2002 in
the NLS at Causewayside in Edinburgh on terminology
related issues. The particular focus will be name authorities
and the aim will be to establish an agreed means of
ensuring a standard approach across Scotland that is also
in line with approaches across the UK and across the world.
An interesting day is in store, with short presentations from
the archives, libraries, museums, and other communities,
and a range of other presentations on relevant topics, including
geographical information systems. These will then be followed by a fair
bit of discussion and debate, with the aim being to end the day with
a way forward on a standard approach agreed.
Details will be announced in July/August. In the meantime, please
take a note of the date.
Cheers
Dennis
