Culture and Sport
CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts. -

Strategies for Collecting Electronic Resources on the Qur’Anic Researches
International Journal on Quranic Research (IJQR) © 2013 Centre of Quranic Research Vol.3, No. 4, June 2013, Pp. 57-78 (CQR), University of Malaya, Malaysia STRATEGIES FOR COLLECTING ELECTRONIC RESOURCES ON THE QUR’ANIC RESEARCHES Amar Arbaoui, Yasser M. Alginahi & Mohamed Menacer ABSTRACT Electronic dissemination of digital information has benefited from recent advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and dissemination of Islamic digital content in different formats has taken advantage of this rapid progress in technology. Information is available in many formats and on many different applications and devices. However, the online availability of such resources on Qur’an and its sciences is very limited. In this work, digital Qur’an resources available from authentic sources will be used to formulate strategies on how to extract, format, present and make these resources available for researchers in a centralized knowledgebase. The methodology starts with collecting these authentic electronic Islamic resources. Next, resources are classified into their main categories, sub-categories and related categories. Then, the list of metadata for each type of resource is developed. Following this, strategies for efficient dissemination for the different types of digital resources are developed; depending on the format of the files, the metadata is extracted automatically, if possible, otherwise data is entered manually into the knowledgebase. Therefore, the manual entry of data into the knowledgebase for resources having poor or lacking metadata would efficiently help researchers to easily locate the resources they are searching for. Developing these strategies for each type of format could efficiently help in the search process. From the data collected so far, the amount of data gathered shows that books contribute to the highest number of resources available in this area followed by post graduate dissertations, conference papers and journal papers respectively. -

Preparing for a Linked Data Approach to Name Authority Control in an Institutional Repository Context
Title Assessing author identifiers: preparing for a linked data approach to name authority control in an institutional repository context Author details Corresponding author: Moira Downey, Digital Repository Content Analyst, Duke University ([email protected] ; 919 660 2409; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6238-4690) 1 Abstract Linked data solutions for name authority control in digital libraries are an area of growing interest, particularly among institutional repositories (IRs). This article first considers the shift from traditional authority files to author identifiers, highlighting some of the challenges and possibilities. An analysis of author name strings in Duke University's open access repository, DukeSpace, is conducted in order to identify a suitable source of author URIs for Duke's newly launched repository for research data. Does one of three prominent international authority sources—LCNAF, VIAF, and ORCID—demonstrate the most comprehensive uptake? Finally, recommendations surrounding a technical approach to leveraging author URIs at Duke are briefly considered. Keywords Name authority control, Authority files, Author identifiers, Linked data, Institutional repositories 2 Introduction Linked data has increasingly been looked upon as an encouraging model for storing metadata about digital objects in the libraries, archives and museums that constitute the cultural heritage sector. Writing in 2010, Coyle draws a connection between the affordances of linked data and the evolution of what she refers to as "bibliographic control," that is, "the organization of library materials to facilitate discovery, management, identification, and access" (2010, p. 7). Coyle notes the encouragement of the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control to think beyond the library catalog when considering avenues by which users seek and encounter information, as well as the group's observation that the future of bibliographic control will be "collaborative, decentralized, international in scope, and Web- based" (2010, p. -

Anastasia Kerameos There was a tremendous response to the call for papers, illustrating the importance and interest in classification to the U.K. cataloguing and 11-16 John Akeroyd & metadata community. The classification discussed in this issue comes in many flavours, including the usage of classification schemes, digital tools Aida Slavic for classification, the theory of classification, reclassification, and much 17-20 Vanda Broughton more besides. 21-26 Sean Goddard & The issue starts by exploring the usage of classification schemes. Deborah Lee and Anastasia Kerameos outline the results of a survey Tim Haillay into U.K. classification practices, linked to the recent CILIP CIG workshop “Thinking about classification”. John Ackeroyd and Aida Slavic 27-29 Jane Del-Pizzo discuss how UDC is used, including survey results relating to the U.K. 30-33 Marcin Trzmielewski, and the use of UDC in repositories and as part of catalogue records. Vanda Broughton discusses classification theory and how classification Claudio Gnoli, Marco (and classification schemes) are still a critical part of organizing Lardera, Gaia Heidi information. Pallestrini & Matea Sipic Reclassification is another significant part of cataloguing and 34-37 Nicky Ransom classification life, and this issue is a rich source of information about 38-42 Penny Doulgeris various reclassification projects.

Scripts, Languages, and Authority Control Joan M
49(4) LRTS 243 Scripts, Languages, and Authority Control Joan M. Aliprand Library vendors’ use of Unicode is leading to library systems with multiscript capability, which offers the prospect of multiscript authority records. Although librarians tend to focus on Unicode in relation to non-Roman scripts, language is a more important feature of authority records than script. The concept of a catalog “locale” (of which language is one aspect) is introduced. Restrictions on the structure and content of a MARC 21 authority record are outlined, and the alternative structures for authority records containing languages written in non- Roman scripts are described. he Unicode Standard is the universal encoding standard for all the charac- Tters used in writing the world’s languages.1 The availability of library systems based on Unicode offers the prospect of library records not only in all languages but also in all the scripts that a particular system supports. While such a system will be used primarily to create and provide access to bibliographic records in their actual scripts, it can also be used to create authority records for the library, perhaps for contribution to communal authority files. A number of general design issues apply to authority records in multiple languages and scripts, design issues that affect not just the key hubs of communal authority files, but any institution or organization involved with authority control. Multiple scripts in library systems became available in the 1980s in the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) with the addition of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) capability, and in ALEPH (Israel’s research library network), which initially provided Latin and Hebrew scripts and later Arabic, Cyrillic, and Greek.2 The Library of Congress continued to produce catalog cards for material in the JACKPHY (Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Hebrew, and Yiddish) languages until all of the scripts used to write these languages were supported by an automated system. -

National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience
Date 2nd version : 04/07/2006 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience Ben Gu Director Acquisitions & Cataloging Department / Online Library Cataloging Center National Library of China Meeting: 109 Bibliography Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract The printed version of the China National Bibliography was first published in 1987 and ceased to be published in 1994. It is replaced by the online services provided by the National Library of China. Because of the present situation of legal deposit policies in China, the national bibliography has narrow coverage. There is another kind of “national bibliography” with wider coverage, but not done by librarians. In China, there are also problems of different forms of name authorities and different MARC records. The National Library of China is considering a National Union Catalog to improve the national bibliographical services. 1 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience / by Ben Gu, National Library of China China National Bibliography: History China National Bibliography (中国 国家书目(1985)) was first published in 1987. It was compiled by the National Bibliography Compiling Committee under the National Library of China. It included 17,000 titles, covering all the monographs published in 1985, some monographs published in 1984 and some new and renamed periodicals. An index volume was also published at the same time1. The printed version of the China National Bibliography ceased to be published in 1994 because of the financial problem. Now, it is almost impossible to publish a printed version of China National Bibliography, because: 1. -

What Are Controlled Vocabularies?
2. What Are Controlled Vocabularies? A controlled vocabulary is an organized arrangement of words and phrases used to index content and/or to retrieve content through browsing or searching. It typically includes preferred and variant terms and has a defined scope or describes a specific domain. 2.1. Purpose of Controlled Vocabularies The purpose of controlled vocabularies is to organize information and to provide terminology to catalog and retrieve information. While capturing the richness of variant terms, controlled vocabularies also promote consistency in preferred terms and the assignment of the same terms to similar content. Given that a shared goal of the cultural heritage community is to improve access to visual arts and material culture information, controlled vocabularies are essential. They are necessary at the indexing phase because without them catalogers will not consistently use the same term to refer to the same person, place, or thing. In the retrieval process, various end users may use different synonyms or more generic terms to refer to a given concept. End users are often not specialists and thus need to be guided because they may not know the correct term. The most important functions of a controlled vocabulary are to gather together variant terms and synonyms for concepts and to link concepts in a logical order or sort them into categories. Are a rose window and a Catherine wheel the same thing? How is pot-metal glass related to the more general term stained glass? The links and relationships in a controlled vocabulary ensure that these connections are defined and maintained, for both cataloging and retrieval.
