TRUE (and FALSE) Structured Data is Essential for Archival Description & Discovery Presented by Barbara Aikens Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution SAA, 2010

Taking full advantage of structured data Create interesting, lively, meaningful, and web-appropriate online presentations Repurpose Data Visualize Data Harvest Data Share Data Provide Context to Data

Using usability studies Recent online usability studies conducted by the Northwest Digital Archives consortia; University of North Carolina; Archives of American Art; and many other repositories. Are users confused by the actual structured data or the presentation of the structured data?

Providing meaning and context: Data Visualization & Mining “ Elastic Lists” – visualization prototype developed by Michele Combs at Syracuse University Libraries (see EAD/binv4/bin/ ) EAD/binv4/bin/ “Archives Z” (Visualizing Archives) - Jeanne Kramer-Smyth, formerly at U. Md. (see “The Visible Archive” – visualization project developed by Mitchell Whitelaw at the University of Canberra, Australia (see “Bungee View” – data mining and visualization prototype developed by Mark Durthick, currently used for American Memory images at the Library of Congress (ttp://cityscape.inf.cs.cmu.edu/bungee/). YouTube video demo link also available at “Neatline Project” – geospatial and temporal visualization tool being developed by the Scholars Lab at the University of Virginia Library ( )
