This community may be interested in a recent video from the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), a joint project of EDUCAUSE and the Association of Research Libraries that focuses on the intersection of technology and information management/libraries, especially in higher education and the research enterprise.
Why Open Library Metadata?
Watch at: https://youtu.be/iExxGIhKJ4E
Tom Cramer and Rochelle Lundy, Stanford University
Simeon Warner, Cornell University
"Libraries have a rich tradition of interconnection, resource sharing, and cooperative metadata work, but not of open metadata. Our work with interoperability projects and research information services including IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), Blue Core, POD (Platform for Open Data), and RIALTO bring questions about metadata reuse to the fore. This session will describe the uncertainties and impediments created by a lack of explicit licensing and argue that open licenses or declarations are the right solutions that allow the library community to innovate. We draw connections with the practices of the burgeoning open science and open data movements, as well as emerging requirements for outputs from federally funded research."
The video is freely and openly available; please share as you see fit. You may contact the speakers with any questions.
Sincerely,
Paige
