Dublin Core Cataloging (Coleman's article/workform)

I am going to use Anita S. Coleman's "From Cataloging to Metadata: Dublin Core Records for the Library Catalog" and a Dublin Core workform provided by a professor to catalog a digital and physical item (this blog and this thing I just got in the mail from a friend a few minutes ago with some records I traded for). Pretty informal exercise but it should be fun.

THIS BLOG

Title: Libraries and Metastuff

Creator: Tyler M

Subject (using natural language, not LCSH): Library School. LibraryThing. Marlboro College. Metadata. Photos. Vermont. CONTENTdm. DVD Aficionado. DVDs. Digital Collections. Dublin Core.History. Internship. Interview. MARC. NH. Presentation. Punk. The Elvis Room. Zine Libraries. Zines.
(Coleman's document says to take key words from the document and tagging makes doing this easy. However, there are certainly some subject terms and phrases that I might apply or key words/phrases I would take from the website that are in this list of tags. This is one of those places where the restrictions of a controlled vocabulary or local standards is actually helpful. It is also interesting how this becomes an issue of subjectivity and objectivity.)

Description: A blog where Tyler M posts writing and photos primarily about Library and Information Science, Web 2.0, Metadata, and Cataloging.
