In this issue, we offer a sample of the wide and varied range of research being conducted into – and making use of – bibliographic metadata.

 
Sarah Wallbank, Danielle Kane, Madelynn Dickerson, and Joshua Hutchinson present early insights from their investigations into using the University of California’s bibliographic data for digital humanities research.  They look at some of the questions that they might attempt to answer, and take us through how they aim to clean the data. Their work so far has left them hopeful that the catalogue might provide them with fertile ground for future research.


Annick Stein compares data from large-scale RDA- and AACR2- based catalogues (one in Switzerland, the other in Luxembourg) in order to assess whether moving to RDA really does help create a more FRBRised catalogue.  Her findings – that the RDAbased catalogue does not present to end users the structured, linked experience we might hope – reinforce this editor’s view that the job of the metadata specialist is not complete once the record is created, and engagement with the mechanics of the discovery layer is essential to ensure that users can make best use of our hard work.


Mackenzie Johnson and Carlie Forsythe’s article, on disability and accessibility language in subject headings and social tagging, stresses the importance of involving subject experts in the creation of subject headings, and of getting the headings right to allow effective information retrieval. The authors also assess the ‘third way’, of semi-structured, moderated social tagging systems, that lies between fully controlled vocabularies and free social tagging.


C&I is published as an open access journal so we hope that you will read the papers and share the links widely.
