  • Creating Permissionless Blockchains of Metadata Records Dejah Rubel
    Articles No Need to Ask: Creating Permissionless Blockchains of Metadata Records Dejah Rubel ABSTRACT This article will describe how permissionless metadata blockchains could be created to overcome two significant limitations in current cataloging practices: centralization and a lack of traceability. The process would start by creating public and private keys, which could be managed using digital wallet software. After creating a genesis block, nodes would submit either a new record or modifications to a single record for validation. Validation would rely on a Federated Byzantine Agreement consensus algorithm because it offers the most flexibility for institutions to select authoritative peers. Only the top tier nodes would be required to store a copy of the entire blockchain thereby allowing other institutions to decide whether they prefer to use the abridged version or the full version. INTRODUCTION Several libraries and library vendors are investigating how blockchain could improve activities such as scholarly publishing, content dissemination, and copyright enforcement. A few organizations, such as Katalysis, are creating prototypes or alpha versions of blockchain platforms and products.1 Although there has been some discussion about using blockchains for metadata creation and management, only one company appears to be designing such a product. Therefore, this article will describe how permissionless blockchains of metadata records could be created, managed, and stored to overcome current challenges with metadata creation and management. LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT PRACTICES Metadata standards, processes, and systems are changing to meet twenty-first century information needs and expectations. There are two significant limitations, however, to our current metadata creation and modification practices that have not been addressed: centralization and traceability.

Trant, University of Toronto / Archives & Museum Informatics 158 Lee Ave, Toronto, ON Canada M4E 2P3 jtrant [at] archimuse.com Abstract This paper reviews research into social tagging and folksonomy (as reflected in about 180 sources published through December 2007). Methods of researching the contribution of social tagging and folksonomy are described, and outstanding research questions are presented. This is a new area of research, where theoretical perspectives and relevant research methods are only now being defined. This paper provides a framework for the study of folksonomy, tagging and social tagging systems. Three broad approaches are identified, focusing first, on the folksonomy itself (and the role of tags in indexing and retrieval); secondly, on tagging (and the behaviour of users); and thirdly, on the nature of social tagging systems (as socio-technical frameworks). Keywords: Social tagging, folksonomy, tagging, literature review, research review 1. Introduction User-generated keywords – tags – have been suggested as a lightweight way of enhancing descriptions of on-line information resources, and improving their access through broader indexing. “Social Tagging” refers to the practice of publicly labeling or categorizing resources in a shared, on-line environment.

  • Geotagging Photos to Share Field Trips with the World During the Past Few
    Geotagging photos to share field trips with the world During the past few years, numerous new online tools for collaboration and community building have emerged, providing web-users with a tremendous capability to connect with and share a variety of resources. Coupled with this new technology is the ability to ‘geo-tag’ photos, i.e. give a digital photo a unique spatial location anywhere on the surface of the earth. More precisely geo-tagging is the process of adding geo-spatial identification or ‘metadata’ to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude and place names as well. Therefore adding geo-tags to photographs means adding details as to where as well as when they were taken. Geo-tagging didn’t really used to be an easy thing to do, but now even adding GPS data to Google Earth is fairly straightforward. The basics Creating geo-tagged images is quite straightforward and there are various types of software or websites that will help you ‘tag’ the photos (this is discussed later in the article). In essence, all you need to do is select a photo or group of photos, choose the "Place on map" command (or similar). Most programs will then prompt for an address or postcode. Alternatively a GPS device can be used to store ‘way points’ which represent coordinates of where images were taken. Some of the newest phones (Nokia N96 and i- Phone for instance) have automatic geo-tagging capabilities. These devices automatically add latitude and longitude metadata to the existing EXIF file which is already holds information about the picture such as camera, date, aperture settings etc.

  • Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata
    Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata Adam Mathes Computer Mediated Communication - LIS590CMC Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign December 2004 Abstract This paper examines user-generated metadata as implemented and applied in two web services designed to share and organize digital me- dia to better understand grassroots classification. Metadata - data about data - allows systems to collocate related information, and helps users find relevant information. The creation of metadata has generally been approached in two ways: professional creation and author creation. In li- braries and other organizations, creating metadata, primarily in the form of catalog records, has traditionally been the domain of dedicated profes- sionals working with complex, detailed rule sets and vocabularies. The primary problem with this approach is scalability and its impracticality for the vast amounts of content being produced and used, especially on the World Wide Web. The apparatus and tools built around professional cataloging systems are generally too complicated for anyone without spe- cialized training and knowledge. A second approach is for metadata to be created by authors. The movement towards creator described docu- ments was heralded by SGML, the WWW, and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. There are problems with this approach as well - often due to inadequate or inaccurate description, or outright deception. This paper examines a third approach: user-created metadata, where users of the documents and media create metadata for their own individual use that is also shared throughout a community. 1 The Creation of Metadata: Professionals, Con- tent Creators, Users Metadata is often characterized as “data about data.” Metadata is information, often highly structured, about documents, books, articles, photographs, or other items that is designed to support specific functions.

  • KOSO: a Metadata Ontology for Knowledge Organization Systems
    KOSO: A Metadata Ontology for Knowledge Organization Systems Katrin Weller Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Dept. of Information Science, Universitätsstr.1, Building 23.21.04, 40547 Düsseldorf, Germany [email protected] Abstract. This poster paper introduces KOSO, an ontology to structure expert knowledge about different types of knowledge organization systems (KOS). It serves as a metadata vocabulary for describing ontologies and other KOS and helps to capture cross-concordances and interrelations between them.1 Keywords: Metadata, ontology, knowledge organization systems. 1 Introduction: Motivation and Objectives Motivated by the need for effective methods to organize the ever-growing number of available ontologies, some efforts have begun to create categorizations or establish metadata for describing ontologies, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4]. Within a comparable approach, we now want to include the whole spectrum of knowledge organization systems (KOS): from collaborative folksonomies over traditional classification systems and thesauri to heavyweight ontologies. Different KOS can be used in interaction. For example using both a professional thesaurus as well as a user-generated folksonomy for indexing a document collection (or alternatively: two competing or complementary ontologies) helps to support multiple perspectives in retrieval systems. Furthermore, the lightweight KOS types often provide a useful starting point for creating more complex representations [5], [6] and should thus be made easily accessible for reuse and

The paper is aimed to present a methodology of learning personalisation based on ap- plying Resource Description Framework (RDF) standard model. Research results are two-fold: first, the results of systematic literature review on Linked Data, RDF “subject-predicate-object” triples, and Web Ontology Language (OWL) application in education are presented, and, second, RDF triples-based learning personalisation methodology is proposed. The review revealed that OWL, Linked Data, and triples-based RDF standard model could be successfully used in educa- tion. On the other hand, although OWL, Linked Data approach and RDF standard model are al- ready well-known in scientific literature, only few authors have analysed its application to person- alise learning process, but many authors agree that OWL, Linked Data and RDF-based learning personalisation trends should be further analysed. The main scientific contribution of the paper is presentation of original methodology to create personalised RDF triples to further development of corresponding OWL-based ontologies and recommender system. According to this methodology, RDF-based personalisation of learning should be based on applying students’ learning styles and intelligent technologies.
