Interesting to see what a course, CS646, on the Semantic Web looks like. One of the exam questions looks at developing a (simple) ontology for a library. Not immediately clear what level this is at.
Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
The presentation Two Metadata Directions looked at metadata trends, including entification and pluralization. Here are the slides, video and a link to a fuller discussion.
