IOrg Lecture Series


SOIS - Information Organization Research Group (IOrg) Lecture Series 
The HIVE: An Approach and a Model 
http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/about/news/events/IOrg_greenberg.pdf 

April 8, 2010 
12:00 pm 
Greene Hall 



The Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Engineering (HIVE) is a collaboration between the Metadata Research Center (MRC) at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in Durham, North Carolina; and vocabulary partners HIVE from the Library of Congress, the Getty Research Institute (GRI), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). HIVE is an automatic metadata generation approach that dynamically integrates discipline-specific controlled vocabularies encoded with the Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS), a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard. The goal is to assist content creators and information professionals with subject cataloging and to circumvent traditional controlled vocabulary problems of cost, interoperability, and usability. 



This presentation will introduce HIVE, and provide an overview of the research and development plan. An emphasis will be placed on the HIVE approach and overall model. Findings from two recent baseline studies will be presented, and plans for next steps.
