The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group will meet on Sunday, January 17, 8–10am in the Westin Waterfront, Otis Room for a program.
Featured speakers include:
- Roy Tennant, OCLC Research, will discuss a “metadata mashup” involving three different types of metadata. His presentation will illustrate the selected process, discuss the challenges faced, and share lessons learned about how to mashup several metadata streams effectively and extract useful information from the result.
- Jennifer Bowen, University of Rochester, will discuss the eXtensible Catalog (XC) Project, which has developed an open-source platform for automating the processing of metadata in any XML-based schema.
MIG will hold its business meeting (9:30–10am) following the informal presentations. Contact chair Joanna Burgess (burgessj at reed.edu) for more information.
