1 RDA and Metadata Peter Fox (my view) Metadata session 20150925
About 2 Remember what I said at P1, opening session? to decommission the term metadata, and then realize that we only used it because we were not specific enough about about ;-) I have a folder with all the hate mail I received Now RDA has 4 metadata groups, and 4 sessions at P6 (depending on how you count)
About and Meaning 3 About = things that matter Context Meaning -> semantics Relations and types More than that Syntax (structure/form) Semantics (meaning) Pragmatics (use)
Thoughts from a use perspective ** 4 Go ahead, create all the metadata you want, we ll materialize some of it into triples based on semantics for use! Late semantic binding! Go ahead, create all the schema and encodings you want but remember semantics now lives in an open-world and It is linked. You are not the only source of metadata. Not all metadata is formalized. Link over map. Semantics make metadata useful but we do not need all of your metadata for use 4
Provenance metadata de jour 5 Origin or source from which something comes, intention for use, who/what generated for, manner of manufacture, history of subsequent owners, sense of place and time of manufacture, production or discovery, documented in detail sufficient to allow reproducibility Provenance: metadata in a given context! Swallow that. Knowledge provenance; meaning and relations in multiple contexts!
