A paper and a site

In Glasgow we touched upon the possibility of combining “authoritative” taxonomies and vocabularies with folksonomic approaches. Here is a paper, once again from the library sector, that relates (a bit): http://www.emeraldinsight.com/Insight/viewContentItem.do?contentType=Article&contentId=1570010 (available through Athens). Not quite the model I’d imagined but interesting.

Something we need to find out more about

BRICKS is a Framework Six large scale European project with the stated goal of pulling digital heritage resources together into a single coherent global digital library. There are a number of semantic strands to it, focussing on digital library projects.

Leicester workshop documentation now online

Alex Whitfield’s hard work over the last few weeks now means we have our first workshop report, from the open meeting that kicked off the project at UK Museums on the Web in Leicester in July.

It’s key to the success of the project that all members associated with the Think Tank read the reports closely, and post as much or as little feedback as you like. But whatever you do, please do add to the discussion in some way or another. This is an informal, but thoughtful project, and we want to benefit from your experience and wisdom.

If we can make each workshop more productive than the last, then we’ll be on course to produce something useful next spring.
