Märksõnad:

An Emergent Theory of Digital Library Metadata is a reaction to the current digital library landscape that is being challenged with growing online collections and changing user expectations. The theory provides the conceptual underpinnings for a new approach which moves away from expert defined standardised metadata to a user driven approach with users as metadata co-creators. Moving away from definitive, authoritative, metadata to a system that reflects the diversity of users’ terminologies, it changes the current focus on metadata simplicity and efficiency to one of metadata enriching, which is a continuous and evolving process of data linking. From predefined description to information conceptualised, contextualised and filtered at the point of delivery. By presenting this shift, this book provides a coherent structure in which future technological developments can be considered.

    • describes the value of Metadata when continuously enriched by experts and users
    • offers Metadata enriching results from ubiquitous linking
    • provides reasons for Metadata as a resource that should be linked openly
    • discusses the power of enriched Metadata when unlocked and filtered for users individually

Arvustused

"Alemu and Stevens main objective is to state a case for library systems that support the creation and use of socially constructed metadata as a diverse and contemporary addition to expert-created metadata." --LRTS
