2012-08-08Harper - SAA - Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable3 Linked Open Data Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

2012-08-08Harper - SAA - Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable10 Open & Closed World Assumptions Closed World - Metadata patterns known, semantics implicit Open World - Continual integration of heterogeneous metadata Requires Self-Describing Data Linked Data Principles come in big here http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments

2012-08-08Harper - SAA - Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable12 Most Metadata *systems* are closed world Libraries, Archives, Museums Publisher provided data Other scholarly systems: Even Open Access ones (OA != OW) Search Interfaces (even Google!) You manage what you have, and generally manage a closed set of metadata
