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.

The number of influential libraries publishing their metadata onto the web as linked open data, which is the heart of the Semantic Web, is growing
-
many librarians at major institutions have recognized that a key to the bibliographic future lies in migrating their data out of library silos and into an open, global pool of shared data.
-
the linked data cloud is seen as the most promising way to ensure that library data remains accessible and reusable
- ...11 more annotations...
-
"If libraries are to retain their role as curators of the intellectual products of society, their assets must be part of that search stream."
-
libraries have begun to reconceptualize metadata and publish it on the web using linked data technologies, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) language and its extensions OWL, SKOS, and SPARQL.
-
library metadata is formatted and linked in RDF, then library content will surface more prominently in web search results
-
Recommendations from W3CThe report is still being finalized but the draft recommends that libraries:
-
— create web addresses using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as globally unique, web-compatible identifiers for the resources (any kind of object or concept) they manage and the metadata elements they use
-
— explore using libraries' ethos of quality control in the curation and long-term preservation of linked data datasets and vocabularies.

By marking up information in standardized, highly structured formats like Resource Description Framework (RDF), we can allow computers to better "understand" the meaning of content
- ...17 more annotations...
-
For most librarians this concept is fairly easy to understand. We have been creating highly structured machine-readable metadata for many years
-
By linking our data to shared ontologies that describe the properties and relationships of objects, we begin to allow computers not just to "understand" content, but also to derive new knowledge by "reasoning" about that content.
-
the term "Semantic Web" to refer to a full suite of W3C standards including RDF, SPARQL query language, and OWL web ontology language.
-
This article will outline some of the benefits that linked data could have for libraries, will discuss some of the non-technical obstacles that we face in moving forward, and will finally offer suggestions for practical ways in which libraries can participate in the development of the semantic web.
-
Having a common format for all data would be a huge boon for interoperability and the integration of all kinds of systems.
-
The linking hub would expose a network of tightly linked information from publishers, aggregators, book and journal vendors, subject authorities, name authorities, and other libraries.
-
semantic search could take us far beyond the current string-matching capabilities of search engines like Google.
-
Until there is enough linking between collections and imaginative uses of data collections there is a danger librarians will see linked data as simply another metadata standard, rather than the powerful discovery tool it will underpin.
-
Rights management poses potential problems for linked data in libraries. Libraries no longer own much of the content they provide to users; rather it is subscribed to from a variety of vendors.

mission of the Library Linked Data incubator group is to help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing together people involved in Semantic Web activities—focusing on Linked Data—in the library community and beyond, building on existing initiatives, and identifying collaboration tracks for the future.
-
existing building blocks of librarianship, such as metadata models, metadata schemas, standards and protocols for building interoperability and library systems and networked environments, encourage libraries to bring their content, and generally re-orient their approaches to data interoperability towards the Web, also reaching to other communities.

Mark Zuckerberg, a journalist was asking him a question about the news feed. And the journalist was asking him, "Why is this so important?" And Zuckerberg said, "A squirrel dying in your front yard may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa." And I want to talk about what a Web based on that idea of relevance might look like. So when I was growing up in a really rural area in Maine, the Internet meant something very different to me. It meant a connection to the world. It meant something that would connect us all together. And I was sure that it was going to be great for democracy and for our society. But there's this shift in how information is flowing online, and it's invisible. And if we don't pay attention to it, it could be a real problem. So I first noticed this in a place I spend a lot of time -- my Facebook page. I'm progressive, politically -- big surprise -- but I've always gone out of my way to meet conservatives. I like hearing what they're thinking about; I like seeing what they link to; I like learning a thing or two. And so I was surprised when I noticed one day that the conservatives had disappeared from my Facebook feed. And what it turned out was going on was that Facebook was looking at which links I clicked on, and it was noticing that, actually, I was clicking more on my liberal friends' links than on my conservative friends' links. And without consulting me about it, it had edited them out. They disappeared. So Facebook isn't the only place that's doing this kind of invisible, algorithmic editing of the Web. Google's doing it too. If I search for something, and you search for something, even right now at the very same time, we may get very different search results. Even if you're logged out, one engineer told me, there are 57 signals that Google looks at -- everything from what kind of computer you're on to what kind of browser you're using to where you're located -- that it uses to personally tailor you

Mark-up: Marked information is data that has marks or signals to let a computer distinguish one type of data from the other.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
-
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!
