Experiences in Deploying Public Metadata Analysis Tools
This event took place on Friday 15 May 2009 at 11:30

Dr. David Nichols University of Waikato, New Zealand

Current institutional repository software provides few tools to help metadata librarians understand and analyse their collections. In this talk I will discuss two metadata analysis tools: the MAT tool from the New Zealand Digital Library Project at Waikato and the KRIS tool from the National Library of New Zealand. MAT is a public on-demand analyser that uses heuristics and visualisations to aid in metadata assessment. KRIS is part of a national discovery service for research held in institutional repositories and is based around agreed metadata guidelines. Experiences in building and deploying these tools provide a checklist of requirements for future metadata tool provision.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
