Description

The OCLC Research Library Partnership Web Archiving Metadata Working Group recently issued three publications: recommendations for descriptive metadata that uniquely meet the needs of web content, an extensive literature review, and an analysis of 11 web harvesting tools. In this webinar, four members of the working group focus on the metadata recommendations: Rebecca Guenther sets the stage by situating WAM’s work relative to existing library and archives standards and practices; Jackie Dooley gives an overview of the 14 data elements that comprise the heart of the recommendations; Claudia Horning discusses their use within the context of RDA and MARC; and Mary Samouelian discusses implementation in the archival standards context.

This webinar is of interest to those who work with metadata or with web archiving.

Works in Progress: An OCLC Research Occasional Webinar Series

These webinars are exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, but the recordings are publicly available to all.

Works in Progress: An OCLC Research Occasional Webinar Series to talk about work happening in OCLC Research – we'd like to present our work informally and get feedback from you, our Partners. We'd also like this to be a venue for Partner institutions. What are you working on that everyone should know about? What input would help you move forward? Let us know!
