Understanding metadata and controlled vocabularies - the key to integrated
networking
to be held at
CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WC1E 7AE
Tuesday 29th July 2008, 9.30-16.30
Course Outline
Nowadays information comes in from all over the place, in all shapes and
sizes. Conversely, the resources we put together need to travel to multiple
destinations, perhaps getting repackaged along the way to suit different
audiences and contexts. Successful journeys across the networks are
achieved by labelling each item and package with metadata.
This one-day workshop will provide an introduction to some widely used
metadata schemas (such as Dublin Core, CDWA, e-GMS, IEEE-LOM) and discuss
how to adapt and exploit them for our own needs. It will also explore the
different types of vocabulary (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, etc.) that
may be used for labelling the subject content of our resources. Well be
looking very practically at how to handle the vocabulary tools, in order to
achieve integrated information management. Examples and exercises will be
drawn from public and private sector applications.
The course will include a combination of presentations and practical
exercises, with participation encouraged and plenty of opportunity for
questions and answers.
Who Should Attend
Anyone who is planning efficient ways of managing information flows around
the organisation should attend. Likewise webmasters who want to maximise
the impact of the resources on their websites, especially by presenting them
so that users can find what they want and external portals can harvest the
information. Effective implementation of metadata relies on cooperative
working between information professionals and their information technology
colleagues, and it is good to have both sides of the house represented.
Course Presenter
A Fellow of CILIP, Stella Dextre Clarke is an independent consultant who
specialises in the design and implementation of controlled vocabularies for
private and public sector clients. While working with the Cabinet Office,
she played a key role in development of the UKs e-Government Metadata
Standard and built the Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary which forms part
of it. In 2006 she won the Tony Kent Strix Award (sponsored by UKeiG), for
outstanding contributions to the field of information retrieval.
