    A user finds answers on how to use a product in various ways; by searching the internet, by using the traditional manual, in paper or electronic format etc. A certain user in a certain situation need answers and we, as technical communicators, carefully arrange many answers (topics) in a deliverable (map). The answers in the map are sorted and organized according to some principle. But, why do we sort and organize the topics we have referenced in the map?

  • Good metadata should be coherent, meaningful, and useful in global contexts beyond those in which it was created.
  • The creation of accessible, meaningful shared collections implies responsibilities on both the part of the data providers
  • The goal of interoperability is to help users find and access information objects that are distributed across domains and institutions.

  • When different metadata schemes must be used, one way to achieve interoperability is to map elements from one scheme to those of another. These mappings, or crosswalks, help users of one scheme to understand another, can be used in automatic translation of searches, and allow records created according to one scheme to be converted to another.

  • Attributes of distributed objects should be expressed using standard controlled terms whenever possible.
  • Factors to consider include:
  • Tools to support the use of the vocabulary. Is there an online thesaurus? Can it be incorporated into the collection’s search system? Are there cross-references and related terms?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • To enable the most effective end-user access, the implementation of local, collection-specific authorities and vocabularies in addition to the use of terms and names from standard published authorities is often the best strategy.
