Morning options
a) Tutorial: Metadata management in Sharepoint (10.00
-12.00)
While Sharepoint 2013 offers more metadata capabilities than
ever before, the range of options can make it hard to implement
the most effective way. Management of controlled vocabularies is
a particular challenge. This tutorial will enable you to pick
the brains of an experienced consultant, Marc Stephenson of
Metataxis.
b) Workshop: Vocabularies and the potential for linkage
(9.30 – 12.30; now fully booked)
Various approaches to the linkage of value vocabularies (KOSs)
and/or element set vocabularies (metadata schemas) will be
described by Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche (Fujitsu, Ireland), Dan
Brickley (Google), Gordon Dunsire and Stella Dextre Clarke, with
emphasis on the opportunities as well as the barriers to
widespread adoption. After that is a case study from Johan De
Smedt and Agis Papantoniou, both of TenForce, that draws on more
than one technique. The subsequent discussion will address the
prospects for take-up, aiming to help participants with
application or development of similar techniques and projects.
