La metadatazione, scrive Mauro Guerrini, è la catalogazione nell'era in cui tutto è connesso. La tradizione catalografica viene confermata nella sua essenza proprio nel momento in cui aggiorna e rafforza le sue tecniche per permettere che il catalogo non sia solo “nel web”, ma che diventi “del web”, ovvero impieghi il linguaggio della contemporaneità, come ha sempre fatto nella storia. Al bibliotecario, quale persona di cultura, viene ora chiesto di acquisire competenze tecniche che lo rendano in grado di rispondere efficacemente alle nuove sfide (Diego Maltese, Prefazione). Il volume si caratterizza per un taglio innovativo: ventisei bibliotecari e professori di biblioteconomia italiani sono invitati a rispondere a dieci domande su temi legati alla metadatazione. Le interviste sono precedute da quattro saggi e sono seguite da un'ampia bibliografia critica.

This new and updated second edition of a classic text provides a thought provoking introduction to metadata for all library and information students and professionals. Metadata for Information Management and Retrieval has been fully revised to bring it up to date with new technologies and standards. It builds on the concept of metadata through an exploration of its purposes and uses as well as considering the main aspects of metadata management. This new edition, containing new chapters on ‘Very Large Data Collections'and the ‘Politics and Ethics of Metadata', assesses the current theory and practice of metadata and examines key developments in terms of both policy and technology. Coverage includes: defining, describing and expressing metadata data modelling metadata and information retrieval big data, linked data, open data repositories, social media and research data collections metadata in information governance: compliance, risk and information security managing intellectual property rights the politics of metadata: ethics, power and money. This book is essential reading for library and information students at undergraduate and postgraduate level and will also be useful reading for LIS professionals looking for an accessible introduction to metadata.

Managing ebook Metadata in Academic Libraries: Taming the Tiger tackles the topic of ebooks in academic libraries, a trend that has been welcomed by students, faculty, researchers, and library staff. However, at the same time, the reality of acquiring ebooks, making them discoverable, and managing them presents library staff with many new challenges. Traditional methods of cataloging and managing library resources are no longer relevant where the purchasing of ebooks in packages and demand driven acquisitions are the predominant models for acquiring new content. Most academic libraries have a complex metadata environment wherein multiple systems draw upon the same metadata for different purposes. This complexity makes the need for standards-based interoperable metadata more important than ever. In addition to complexity, the nature of the metadata environment itself typically varies slightly from library to library making it difficult to recommend a single set of practices and procedures which would be relevant to, and effective in, all academic libraries. Considering all of these factors together, it is not surprising when academic libraries find it difficult to create and manage the metadata for their ebook collections. This book is written as a guide for metadata librarians, other technical services librarians, and ancillary library staff who manage ebook collections to help them understand the requirements for ebook metadata in their specific library context, to create a vision for ebook metadata management, and to develop a plan which addresses the relevant issues in metadata management at all stages of the lifecycle of ebooks in academic libraries from selection, to deselection or preservation. - Explores the reasons behind creating records for our resources and challenges libraries to think about what that means for their context - Discusses the complex nature of academic libraries and the electronic resources they require - Encourages librarians to find their own way to manage metadata

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. - Metadata is valuable when continuously enriched by experts and users - Metadata enriching results from ubiquitous linkin - Metadata is a resource that should be linked openly - The power of metadata is unlocked when enriched metadata is filtered for users individually
