Metadata Principles & Practices 4: Metadata Relationships

​

 

Presented by: Bill Walker

This final workshop in the Metadata Principles and Practices series focuses 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

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the role of relationships in enabling resource acquisition

• Identify technologies for articulating relationships in metadata

• Assess the current status and potential of BibFrame as a replacement for MARC
