WGBH Open Vault Working with MERLOT to Build a Multi-Discipline Browsing Hierarchy - Karen Colbron and Helen Brady -

Project overview 3 different sites developed from 3 different grants:  New Television Workshop Experimental video art  Say Brother Local series on African American Community in Boston  Ten O’clock News Nightly local news series - select stories on African American community in Boston and busing

Issues with the 3 previous sites No cross reference No cross searching Each site evolved with more sophistication

Overall goal Bring 3 sites together with cross searchable metadata and general subject heading browsing Add approximately 50 new assets from the WGBH archive

What are the new assets? 44 interviews from War and Peace in the Nuclear Age 1 interview from Vietnam: A Television History 1 interview from Press and the People 5 public domain assets to contextualize the interview material

Open Vault

Hierarchy Parameters At Least 3 levels of detail for each item The top 2 levels from MERLOT The final level would be a Library of Congress term

Supplementary Vocabularies used Library of Congress UNESCO INTUTE

Tools Used MERLOT Subject Categories Classification Web UNESCO Thesaurus INTUTE Social Science Thesaurus Library of Congress Authority Headings Filemaker Pro Database

Browsing Hierarchy versus Searching Ability to find items using complex, compound categories (e.g. African Americans - Relations with law enforcement) Precision

Outcomes 1366 of items catalogued Browsing hierarchy created Precision finding tool Collocation of resources
