Pattern Recognition in Action for Cataloging and Metadata

2006 OLC Technical Services RetreatChris GrabenstatterApril 25, 2006


Agenda

OCLC Cataloging/Metadata strategic directions

Architecture to support strategy Examples of projects


Cataloging Environment

Fewer catalogers, reduced budgets Little growth in print materials

acquisitions E-resources increasing – cataloged?


Deliver more automatically

Build on PromptCat, Cataloging Partners program success

Partner with major materials providers Cataloging tied to selection – possible

new service


More Scripts/Language Support

Growing WorldCat Supporting libraries’ diverse collections Easier to get materials cataloged

Growing membership One stop shopping Both US and global libraries


Metadata support for e-content

Support automated metadata generation for e-resources

Facilitate storage and discovery of digital content

Support new metadata schemes - crosswalks Enrich WorldCat with e-serials records and

holdings


Continue to deliver value

Ongoing Connexion maintenance Standards Simplify pricing


Lego Era

“The Internet is entering its Lego era. Indeed, blocks of interchangeable software components are proliferating … and developers are joining them together to create a potentially infinite array of useful new programs.”

--John Markoff, The New York Times, April 5, 2006


Library 2.0

“Library 2.0 is about small pieces of software loosely joined, … requires business models where multiple vendors bring value to consumers together … to reduce duplication of effort and reduce barriers to innovation…”

--Paul Miller, “Library 2.0: the challenge of disruptive innovation.”

Future – add tools to “create” metadata


Crosswalk Web Service Batchload/PromptCat

ONIX to MARC OAI harvesting – Dublin Core to MARC

Future Import and export Dublin Core data from

Connexion client Support for other metadata schemes both browser

and client interfaces


OCLC Terminologies service Introduction, June 2006 Add more access points using other controlled
