Don't miss these upcoming courses! On August 9th, Amigos will offer Metadata Principles and Practices 03: Customization and Exchange. This third workshop in the "Metadata Principles and Practices" series covers the processes by which institutions customize existing metadata standards, exchange and harvest metadata, transform metadata from one standard to another and migrate metadata to a newer standard. Topics to be covered include: metadata quality factors, application profiles, the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, metadata crosswalks and stylesheets.

Register Now - Tuesday, August 9th, 1:30 – 3:30 CDT

And on August 11th, we’ll have Metadata Principles and Practices 04: Metadata Relationships. This final workshop in the series will focus on the role of expressing relationships in metadata to enhance resource discovery. Topics to be covered:

  • How the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard maintains links between metadata and the resources they describe
  • How the Semantic Web, RDF and Linked Data semantically articulate relationships between entities to aggregate metadata components and enable users to find resources related to their research interests
  • The Bibliographic Framework (BibFrame) as an application of RDF and its potential as a replacement for MARC 21
