L.A. meta (data): Exploring vocabulary interoperability in libraries, Archives and Museums

Abstract

This poster session reports the examination of user tasks in the context of domain specific vocabulary interoperability. Two vocabularies, Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Art and Architecture thesaurus, were selected for comparison using a single user task (Cross‐vocabulary discovery). Analyzing the structure of the vocabularies in the context of this task found challenges associated with the differences in concept representation, differences in vocabulary structures and varying levels of specificity. The exploration found that the similarities in structure and semantics for these two vocabularies provide a solid foundation for both user‐determined on demand and automatically derived interoperability in the context of the cross‐vocabulary discovery task. The exploration of AAT and LCSH vocabularies also found that considering the impact on stakeholders (e.g., end users, vocabulary creators, vocabulary implementers) is important when considering how to design and implement vocabulary interoperability applications.

Mapping Analysis of Pre-coordinated Classes in DDC and CLC

“…Some research has been conducted on vocabulary structures. Erik Mitchell and T. Kanti Srikantaiah (2012) analyze the structure of LCSH and AAT by an examination of user tasks, finding challenges associated with the differences in concept representation, differences in vocabulary structures and varying levels of specificity. BS8723-Part4 Structured Vocabularies for Information Retrieval (British Standards Institution 2008) considers the factors that influence mapping including: structural models for mapping, the direction of the mapping, and how compound concepts are handled.…”

Relações biográficas do patrimônio cultural no modelo EDM: uma proposta de integração de acervos sobre Oswaldo Cruz

“…Indagações sobre a interoperabilidade semântica entre os dados dos acervos disponibilizados e a integração destes dados a outros recursos da internet tornaram-se um ponto focal relevante para a Ciência da Informação. Organizar dados de origens heterogêneas sobre uma temática -de maneira que seja possível interconectar os ativos de informação selecionados, permitir que os usuários construam novas ligações e criar oportunidade de reaproveitamento por outras instituições de memória -é um dos desafios que se coloca ao profissional da informação (JUSTINO; RAPOSO, 2012;MITCHELL;SRIKANTAIAH, 2012;PELLEGRINO et al, 2017).…”
