Leveraging Metadata to Create Better Web Services
Mitchell, Erik
Journal of Web Librarianship, v6 n2 p136-139 2012
Libraries have been increasingly concerned with data creation, management, and publication. This increase is partly driven by shifting metadata standards in libraries and partly by the growth of data and metadata repositories being managed by libraries. In order to manage these data sets, libraries are looking for new preservation and discovery systems, as well as opportunities to connect local metadata with the Web. This article looks at some potential benefits and problems that data brings, and considers some ways to get started with new data management and publication tools.
