  • If you’ve used any of the popular Web 2.0 services over the past few years (e.g. Gmail, Wikipedia, Flickr or Twitter), you already have some experience with cloud computing
  • Like water and electricity, a computing cloud is a communally-shared resource that you lease on a metered basis, paying for as little or as much as you need, when you need it

  • As individuals and members of organizations, we’re already choosing between desktop applications and cloud applications when it comes to e-mail, RSS, file storage, word processing and other simple applications. Sooner or later we’ll have to make this choice for mission-critical enterprise applications too
  • Libraries may soon be building and managing their own data centers.
  • For more practical, technical explanations of cloud computing, check out the Wikipedia article the Anatomy of Cloud Computing the MIT Technology Review Briefing on Cloud Computing.

  • A Text File Good old text is still not a bad way to store data. 
  • If you want to retrieve that information, you can use a script to tell the computer to organize the information in a particular way.   This is called parsing
  • Structured Text As you climb the data food chain, complex systems get developed to organize information. 
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • Mark-up:   Marked information is data that has marks or signals to let a computer distinguish one type of data from the other.  
  • A variable:   A variable happens when you give some data a name. 
  • A string:   A string is a kind of variable that has text.
  • An array:   An array is a type of variable that includes a list used by computer programs for later manipulation.    
  • An object:   Explaining objects in full requires that someone read up on object-oriented programming.  
  • Tree-based  Structures Tree-based structures, or cluster models are a subset of “structured text” data storage models.  
  • XML is probably the best example.
  • data is organized in “parents”, “siblings” and “children”.
  • The Relational Model The relational model is better than a tree-model when your dataset is large and complicated.    The way it works is, instead of thinking in terms of “parents, siblings and children,” you think in term of relationships.
  • the “Primary Key.”   This means that every data object (such as a library) has a way of identifying itself in a unique way
  • a “Foreign Key.”    The Foreign key is a way to associate one dataset (eg. libraries) with another dataset (eg. library branches, hospitals or businesses).
  • This association is called a relationship.
  • In more complicated relationships (called the Many-to-Many relationship), you might have to create a third table to associate two entities.      
  • TEXT/XML Based Text files can be organized in such a way as to accommodate some of the benefits of the relational model.
  • Two examples of XML-based databases include Xindice and Sedna.
  • SQL/Binary-based Databases The more common relational database type is a piece of software running on a server, rather than a set of text files.   They are generally accessed using a standard language called SQL (Structure Query Language), or more specifically SQL as supported by a popular scripting language like PHP, Python or Java.
  • Almost any major web application will have a combination of all these types of data storage methods!

  • The sheer number of metadata standards in the cultural heritage sector is overwhelming, and their inter-relationships further complicate the situation. This visual map of the metadata landscape is intended to assist planners with the selection and implementation of metadata standards.
  • 05 standards listed here is evaluated on its strength of application to defined categories in each of four axes: community, domain, function, and purpose.
