Creating rich shareable metadata: The DLF Aquifer MODS implementation guidelines Sarah L. Shreeves University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ALA Annual – Washington, D.C. June

June 25, Outline Context – DLF and Aquifer Guidelines What is Shareable metadata? Guidelines What are we working on now?

June 25, What is the Digital Library Federation? … an international association of libraries and allied institutions. Mission: to enable new research and scholarship of its members, students, scholars, lifelong learners, and the general public by developing an international network of digital libraries.

June 25, DLF Aquifer Initiative Purpose is to promote effective use of distributed digital library content for teaching, learning, and research in the area of American culture and life. Bringing distributed content together and pushing it out to scholars and researchers Awarded $816,000 from the Mellon Foundation for DLF Aquifer Development for Interoperability Across Scholarly Repositories: American Social History Online Initial aggregation at:

June 25, Currently 230,340 MODS records from 5 institutions

June 25, Background OAI PMH allows metadata to be harvested from multiple data providers –Usually metadata is brought together into aggregations (like OAIster) OAI PMH requires use of simple Dublin Core but allows use of other metadata schemas –Most data providers only provide Dublin Core; most aggregators only harvest Dublin Core

June 25, Difficulties in Building Services in Aggregations Use of Dublin Core often problematic –Lack of semantic complexity Metadata authors often are not thinking about sharing metadata outside of their local contexts Metadata between different collections inconsistent Few user studies of aggregations Building browse, targeted search, facets, etc… has been very, very, very difficult for aggregators

June 25, What’s different about Aquifer’s American Social History Online? Only harvest MODS records and provide guidance for ‘shareable MODS records’ Interoperability / middleware layer to integrate collections into local environments –Course management system –Portal with link to citation management –Commercial search service –Federated search User studies/end user engagement

June 25, DLF Aquifer Implementation Guidelines for Shareable MODS Records Developed by Aquifer Metadata WG Sarah L. Shreeves (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign): (Chair 2005 – 2006) Jenn Riley (Indiana University): 2005 – (Chair ) Laura Akerman (Emory University): John Chapman (University of Minnesota): Melanie Feltner-Reichert (University of Tennessee): Bill Landis (California Digital Library): Tracy Meehleib (Library of Congress): Elizabeth Milewicz (Emory University): David Reynolds (Johns Hopkins University): Gary Shawver (New York University): 2005 –

June 25, DLF Aquifer Implementation Guidelines for Shareable MODS Records To help create rich, shareable metadata records that is consistent and coherent Meant for shared records, not local implementations Focused on humanities and cultural heritage materials Based on the DLF / NSDL Best Practices for Shareable Metadata

June 25, What is shareable metadata? -Is quality metadata (see Bruce and Hillmann) -Promotes search interoperability “the ability to perform a search over diverse sets of metadata records and obtain meaningful results.” (Priscilla Caplan) -Is human understandable outside of its local context -Is useful outside of its local context -Is machine processable

June 25, Metadata as a view of a resource No monolithic one-size-fits-all metadata record The view might be different depending on use and audience as well as format, content, and context Content standard is a view Metadata standard is a view Vocabulary used is a view

June 25, Format of the Guidelines Summary of Requirements and Recommendations Definition from LC’s MODS User Guidelines Discussion of Use Examples Use by Aggregators Mapping to Dublin Core Relationship to DLF/NSDL Best Practices

June 25, Required elements and at least one date subelement with keydate=“yes” if language primary to resource if applicable

June 25, Recommended elements if applicable if applicable

June 25, Optional elements

June 25, Levels of Adoption - Tied to user tasks 1.Minimum for participation: Allows users to cite the resource 2.Minimum for doing anything useful: Allows users to perform basic searches and filtering 3.Allows more advanced functionality: Allows users to browse and group search results 4.Adopt all required guidelines (and some recommended): Allows users to perform more precise searches 5.Completely adopt all recommendations: Allows users to effectively evaluate resources

June 25, Example – Level 3 Title: Life Mask of Stephen A. Douglas Name (authority=naf): Leonard Wells Role: Sculptor Type of Resource: three dimensional object Genre: life masks Genre: casts (sculpture) Date created (w3cdtf keyDate="yes“): 1858 Form authority=“gmd“: art original InternetMediaType: image/jpeg Subject: Douglas, Stephen Arnold URL usage="primary display" access="object in context": du:8081/u?/tdc,252 AccessCondition type="useAndReproduction": Use of this public-domain resource is unrestricted.

June 25, What else are we working on? Release of the level of adoptions MARC  MODS stylesheet –Currently in testing Validation tool for MODS records against the full guidelines –Still in development Also, Aquifer is interested in collections (from non-DLF institutions as well as DLF institutions) – contact Katherine Kott, Director of the Aquifer Initiative.
