Posted on May 15th, 2009 Lukas Koster Why use a non-normalised metadata exchange format for suboptimal data storage? © leah the librarian This week I had a nice chat with André Keyzer of Groningen University library and Peter van Boheemen of Wageningen University Library who attended OCLC’s Amsterdam Mashathon 2009 . As can be expected from library technology geeks, we got talking about bibliographic metadata formats, very exciting of course.
Topic Maps Lab - Topic Maps and Catalogues of Museums, Libraries and Archives
There have been some initiatives or exploration of the potential uses of Topic Maps to Integrated Library Systems ( ILS ) or catalogues in the MLA institutions. However, most of them are prototypes and not implemented due to the fact that no vendor in the MLA field has already incorporated Topic Maps to their systems yet. Those projects that are online proved their skills, some were/are still prototypes and others are not meant for a public usage. The following case study is going to show examples of Topic Maps based projects especially for catalogues of museums, libraries or archives. The first part describes two projects using Topic Maps by implementing data with the FRBR -model.Welcome to AbeBooks' Weird Book Room - heralded by the New York Times , Canada's Globe and Mail , The Times of London , and The Guardian (UK) as the finest source of everything that's bizarre, odd and downright weird in books. Everyone's talking about it - author Neil Gaiman is even tweeting about it, posting a link and suggesting his followers: "Go to this link and gaze on the titles and be made happy. Trust me. It'll work". With new titles added periodically, we now have an excellent selection of crazy and strange titles for sale by our booksellers, about every oddball aspect of life you could possibly imagine (and a few things you couldn't). We invite you to not only revel in our collection of literary oddities but to also send us your suggestions .

Reenactment of Gilbert&George's The Singing Sculpture : Synthetic Performance in Second Life 2007 / Eva and Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG Link to Catalog Record "Eva and Franco Mattes's Synthetic Performances was produced as part of Performa 07, last fall's biennial of performance art in New York. But the artwork involved no live action, no stage, no human spectacle. While the Italian couple and their director, Paolo Ruffino, sat in the back at SoHo's Artists Space silently manning laptops, about 60 downtown types filed into the gallery and seated themselves before a ten-foot projection screen. Most of the audience, however, was dispersed around the world, sitting in front of their own computer screens.

MC Journal. Cataloging of the Weird by Robert Freeborn
CATALOGING OF THE WEIRD Further Examples for the 3-D Perplexed By Robert B. Freeborn INTRODUCTION It seems that AV cataloging has finally come of age, and it's all thanks to the Internet. The dramatic explosion of Internet-based resources over the past few years, coupled with the limitations associated with the current generation of search engines, has brought about the realization by information professionals that Web-based materials are in dire need of better organization and description.
