Collection Description Focus, Workshop 1UKOLN

Thinking Collectively

approaches to collections and collection description

Thursday 1 November 2001
UMIST, Manchester


Discussion Group 2 : Experiences of using the RSLP CD Schema

Ease of use vs. complexity/richness

Maybe too much emphasis on "named"/discrete collections?

Granularity and parent-child distinctions

Can we evolve/extend CDs over time to highlight alternative strengths? - RDF enables distributed annotation

Guidelines - what we mean by a collection, how to use the model
