Notes About MACE Web Clearinghouse Prototype

Introduction to Content in the Prototype Clearinghouse

This is a prototype. As a prototype it has a few flaws. For example, the links (in URL fields) don't always work as they should (cut and paste them in your browser location bar and they will work) and the resources are not always arranged in perfect alphabetical order. There is no automatic timestamp which shows when the file was last updated. However, these are minor flaws that will be corrected in the final Clearinghouse. The Library of Congress will be hosting the Web Clearinghouse and their proposal can be viewed here [pdf file].

The following descriptive elements are used to describe each teaching/learning resource:

Type of Resource: form/genre of the resource
Author: who created/edited/compiled the resource; there is no authority control used for the names
Title: title of the resource
Location/Identifier: URL
Subject: when possible LCSH are used; again, when possible, selective depth analysis level of indexing is used
Keyword: natural language is used to complement subject indexing; duplication of words from fields such as titles and description is avoided
Description: this is often taken directly from the resource or created at time of resource description
Rights:
Copyright: who, if any, owns the copyright of the resource when known is given; two categories are used: public domain; copyrighted; if a copyright/use page is available the URL to that is also provided.
Access: whether the resource is freely available or must be subscribed or purchased is noted
Date of creation and last modification: when the the resource was created/last updated, when known, are given
Format of Resource: most of the time the format is text/html (ordinary web browsers can access it); Adobe PDF, MS-Powerpoint, and other formats are noted
Educational Level: three levels are used and these correspond to Hsieh-Yee's report. Level 1: All Graduate Students; Level 2: Metadata Catalogers; Level 3: Metadata Architects

Structure of the Prototype Clearinghouse

Limitations and Evaluation of the Prototype

The prototype is not scheduled for evaluation. Once the prototype has been copied/moved into it's final format the evaluation can include the following questions: 1) Do the browse categories used benefit LIS educators teaching in these areas? 2) Should the 'forms' (types) of resources be defined? How? 3) Are the elements of description used sufficient? If not, what else is needed? 4) What is the scope of the Clearinghouse? Comprehensiveness or selectiveness and quality? 5) I found few 'Activity' and 'Test' types of resources. How can these types be increased? 6) How appropriate and useful are the three educational levels? 7) What is the level of granularity at which resources should be described? For example, I find lists of links (such as directories or those in the Bibliography section of the prototype) not very useful for teaching tasks and prefer more individual resources with descriptions. Is this true of other instructors?

Additionally, in setting up the Clearinghouse prototype, I've tried to do some things to help in its evaluation and future growth: For example, not all categories are defined. I looked at ERIC and in fact a lot of other books (Mann's 1932 educational subject headings) and digital libraries (projects) for definitions of the 'form' of learning resources but wasn't satisified. So the definitions for forms are sort of like samples and/or place holders. NSDL has just begun this discussion in conjunction with DCMI about defining 'types'. In evaluating the Clearinghouse, embedding just one survey question in each of the Browse Catgeory pages about definition, may help flesh definitions that will be more usable to our groups. Similarly, for the systems of organization, retrieval tools, etc., I thought we could use Taylor's text definitions but again, did not put them in. I separated the tools/schemes/standards from resources about them in most places. But mixed both together in the Ontologies page - i.e., this page should only list ontologies but right now it has 2 other resources 'about ontologies.' Again, can use this to evaluate the clearinghouse organization for our user groups.

Other information available includes the geographic location, address, library type, current and previous library automation systems used, and the size of the library's collection. An advanced search is also available. The second directory is Library Companies, a searchable database of library companies which provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive listing of companies that develop and market library automation systems. To be included in this resource, the company must offer a fully integrated library system, not just a single module other library-related services. Each listing includes all the basic contact information about the company, the names of the products they offer. When available the names and positions of the executive management of the company, and all business mergers and acquisitions that the company has experienced are also listed. Buttons are provided that automatically provide information related to each company.

Subject: Classification
Keyword: Canon, Classification schemes
Description: Excerpts from the book. "These are some definitions and principles taken from S.R. Ranganathan's Prolegomena to Library Classification (2e) (1957). The terminology isn't easy to crack without some examples, but just keep in mind that he's talking about how classification schemes like the Dewey and Library of Congress systems work. They organize knowledge (in books and other things) by deciding what the book is about and then giving it a call number and putting it in order with other books. How that aboutness is decided, to what level of detail, and how the call numbers are made, is what he's discussing. He's setting out the basic rules he thinks all classification schemes should use. (He thought of them while working on his own system, Colon Classification.) Dividing "Mammals" with "Cats" and "Dogs" makes a lot more sense than dividing "Whiskered Animals" into "Ones that Meow" and "Ones that Bark," for example--but why exactly? Should cats come before dogs--why or why not? The definitions below are all verbatim from the book," and anything the author has added is in square brackets.

Subject: International Standard Bibliographic Description, Information retrieval standards
Keyword: CDWA, Content of art databases
Description: Categories for the Description of Works of Art is a product of the Art Information Task Force (AITF), which encouraged dialog between art historians, art information professionals, and information providers so that together they could develop guidelines for describing works of art, architecture, groups of objects, and visual and textual surrogates. Formed in the early 1990s, the task force was made up of representatives from the communities that provide and use art information: art historians, museum curators and registrars, visual resource professionals, art librarians, information managers, and technical specialists. The work of the AITF was funded by the J. Paul Getty Trust, with a two-year matching grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to the College Art Association (CAA). The Categories describe the content of art databases by articulating a conceptual framework for describing and accessing information about objects and images. They identify vocabulary resources and descriptive practices that will make information residing in diverse systems both more compatible and more accessible. They also provide a framework to which existing art information systems can be mapped and upon which new systems can be developed.

A GILS locator record is a kind of souped-up version of your trusty library catalog record., and it offers a standard way to find information by its description--whether a specific document, an information service, a collection of information, or an entire organization. It was envisioned as a common standard to allow searchers to find information across institutions that may be separated by geography, charter, focus, or government and that's why it is sometimes called the Government Information Locator Service.

Title: WG12 – Learning Object Metadata (LOM)
Location/Identifier: URL: http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/index.html
Subject: Metadata
Keyword: Learning object metadata, IEEE, RDF, ISO/IEC, XML
Description: The full name of the standard is: Standard for Information Technology --Education and Training Systems -- Learning Objects and Metadata. This standard will specify the syntax and semantics of Learning Object Metadata, defined as the attributes required to fully/adequately describe a Learning Object. Learning Objects are defined here as any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning. Examples of technology supported learning include computer-based training systems, interactive learning environments, intelligent computer-aided instruction systems, distance learning systems, and collaborative learning environments. Examples of Learning Objects include multimedia content,instructional content, learning objectives, instructional software and software tools, and persons, organizations, or events referenced during technology supported learning. The Learning Object Metadata standards will focus on the minimal set of attributes needed to allow these Learning Objects to be managed, located, and evaluated. The standards will accommodate the ability for locally extending the basic fields and entity types, and the fields can have a status of obligatory (must be present) or optional (maybe absent). Relevant attributes of Learning Objects to be described include type of object, author, owner, terms of distribution, and format. Where applicable, Learning Object Metadata may also include pedagogical attributes such as; teaching or interaction style, grade level, mastery level, and prerequisites. It is possible for any given Learning Object to have more than one set of Learning Object Metadata. The standard will support security,privacy, commerce, and evaluation, but only to the extent that metadata fields will be provided for specifying descriptive tokens related to these areas; the standard will NOT concern itself with how these features are implemented. We expect these standards will conform to, integrate with,or reference existing open standards and existing work in related areas.For example core Attributes of Learning Objects will be coordinated with or may simply defer to, the efforts to standardize content objects in general. The fully approvd draft standard is at http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/files/LOM_1484_12_1_v1_Final_Draft.pdf.

Description: The general international standard bibliographic description is incorporated into AACR2R. The ISBD (ER) is revised from the ISBD (CF): International Standard Bibliographic Description for Computer Files. It includes an index and five appendices. Appendix A offers a prescription for the special technique of multi-level description. Appendix B provides a brief sketch of the way in which data should be transcribed when partly in a script reading from right to left and partly in a script reading from left to right. Appendix C lists the recommended general material designation, resource designations and specific material designations with their definitions. Appendix D gives recommended abbreviations for use in English-language records. Appendix E conveys the examples formulated to offer an illustration of the result of applying ISBD stipulations in all areas of a record.

Subject: Metadata
Keyword: transportation model standards, MediaSite, XM, MOODS, Virage, Phronesis, Olive, IBM Digital library, ABC, DC, RIB, VIggie
Description: This document is an inventory of current standards, emerging standards, and some products serving as examples of current implementations in the area of metadata for multimedia. It is not meant to be a complete treatise on the area of metadata, but rather serves as a report on the current state of standards and implementations in the area of metadata for, in particular, streaming media.
A primary application of this inventory lies in the GigaPort Video-over-IP (VIP-) project, to which SURFnet contributes under the SURFworks project. In VIP one of the work packages, WP1, is Media Management. This work package deals with the generic services necessary for the management of the multimedia material, including the design of the entire architecture. As input to this work package this inventory was made of the tools and emerging standards that can be used to describe a model for metadata information of multimedia data in VIP.
