Subject: Resource Discovery Taskforce (RDTF) metadata guidelines -
comments wanted
The JISC and RLUK Resource Discovery Taskforce (RDTF) was formed to
focus on defining the requirements for the provision of a shared UK
resource discovery infrastructure to support research and learning, to
which libraries, archives, museums and other resource providers can
contribute open metadata for access and reuse. The Taskforce has
produced a vision and an outline work plan for the period 2010-2012
which will establish the framework to enable institutions, other service
providers and developers to provide resource discovery and delivery
services to match the needs of end users.
See http://bit.ly/gRPKu4 for details.
As part of this work, Pete Johnston and I have been asked to develop a
set of metadata guidelines for use by libraries, museums and archives in
the context of the RDTF. Our draft metadata guidelines are now available
for comment and we would welcome your thoughts on any aspect of them.
The guidelines suggest using one (or more) of three approaches, referred
to as 1) the community formats approach, 2) the RDF data approach and 3)
the Linked Data approach.
See http://rdtfmetadata.jiscpress.org/ for details of how to comment,
using either the JISCPress system or by sending us email. The comment
period runs for two weeks. A printable version of the guidelines is
available at http://bit.ly/iamBxA.
For background information on some of the reasoning behind the
guidelines and some of the specific issues that we'd like people to
consider, see our eFoundations blog post at http://bit.ly/etm08H.
Best,
Andy
