8 2009.01.28 - SLIDE 8IS 245 – Spring 2009 Metadata as Infrastructure The difference between memorization and understanding lies in knowing the context and relationships of whatever is of interest. When setting out to learn about a new topic, a well-tested practice is to follow the traditional “5Ws and the H”: Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why?, and How?

9 2009.01.28 - SLIDE 9IS 245 – Spring 2009 Metadata as Infrastructure The reference collections of paper-based libraries provide a structured environment for resources, with encyclopedias and subject catalogs, gazetteers, chronologies, and biographical dictionaries, offering direct support for at least What, Where, When, and Who. The digital environment does not yet provide an effective, and easily exploited, infrastructure comparable to the traditional reference library.

10 2009.01.28 - SLIDE 10IS 245 – Spring 2009 Linking vocabularies WHAT, WHERE, WHEN Library subject headings Topic – Geographic subdivision – Chronological subdivision Place name gazetteer: Place name – Type – Spatial markers (Lat & long) – When Time Period Directory Period name – Type – Time markers (Calendar) – WhereC Connecting Metadata Systems
