INLS 235
Day 8
1. One minute papers
Big point
Metadata (md) is crucial to DLs
There are many md schemes (and levels of analysis/description)
md in XML is embedded in the info objects
defining md standards/schemes is quite different from getting people to use them [consider metatags in HTML]
md generation is huge challenge
Questions
Don’t md registries have authority and security problems?
How do content management systems help interoperation?
Is it more important to preserve document content or document artifact?
How can we expect hw and sw to interoperate when we (humans) can’t?
Who preserves old hardward/sw for
future reading of old artifacts [
How can a poem generate many pages of markup?
How does the transition to standards take place?
Where is the big mapping/table between XML,
How can we help everyone add metadata?
