meta data

Abstract: The prevalence of metadata and technologies supporting metadata have failed to achieve their anticipated objectives (shared data, loose coupling, productivity, intelligence) because they represent an unrealistic, or at least incomplete, picture of the concept "metadata". Three emergent assumptions typically adopted by designers using metadata are identified, assumptions that contain the seeds of the inevitable failure of such designs. We also suggest a number of methodologies to extricate the architect (and more critically, partner architects) from such dogma.

 Data mining;  knowledge discovery;  metadata;  meta data;  ontologies (artificial intelligence);

Abstract: We describe MiBiblio 2.0, a highly personalizable user interface for a federation of digital libraries under the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH). MiBiblio 2.0 allows users to personalize their personal space by choosing the resources and services they need, as well as to organize, classify and manage their workspaces including resources from any of the federated libraries. Results can be kept in personal spaces and organized into categories using a drag-and-drop interface.
