Eprints Below Upwards (The Manual That Was Missed), Balasubramanian Thiagarajan Jun 2013

Eprints Below Upwards (The Manual That Was Missed), Balasubramanian Thiagarajan

Balasubramanian Thiagarajan

As a person who is passionate in academic transmission of knowledge I found it really important to have a repository where scholarly publications could be archived and easily retrieved. My Institution / University does not have any such archiving facilities. I sought the advice of my teacher (who else other than google) which gave me some options of softwares which could be installed in a website. After a thorough research I found Eprint software fitted the billing to the core. On top of it it came free as it was open source. As with all open source software this software …

Representation Patterns For Cultural Heritage Resources, Richard J. Urban Jan 2013

Representation Patterns For Cultural Heritage Resources, Richard J. Urban

Richard J. Urban

The universe of available cultural heritage metadata schemas grows more complex every day. Existing schemas are optimized for use in the library, archive, or museum domains and to fit the needs of shared services and applications. Emerging Linked Data approaches introduce additional challenges for metadata designers and creators responsible for implementing these standards. In other domains, design patterns are used to clearly articulate problems, their contexts, and available solutions. This poster introduces preliminary research to identify such patterns in cultural heritage metadata standards using content analysis and a participatory design methodology.
