This conversation triggers some initial comments:
1. I think that "cataloging" should be
1.1 broadly defined and be based on core cataloging principles and
rules, i.e. those which have passed the test of time (and fads);
1.2 are IT-neutral, i.e. IT-platform and implementation "syntax"
independent (because these change every 5-10 years (with syntax (e.g.
SQL, XML, Semantic Web, etc. being more of a "mechanical packaging" (or
"wrapper" nature). IT-neutral also means neutral with respect to the
nature of the medium on which the information to be recorded, i.e.
recorded information, is actually recorded be this ahrd-copy or "soft
copy, digital or non-digital, etc.; and,
1.3 be architectured and structurally engineered to support human
interface equivalents(HIEs), i.e. multilingual expandability, support
for inclusive design (being able to present contents in a HIE form which
supports/facilitates accessibility (for individuals with disabilities)
2. From a "metadata" (or "data element") perspective, what one needs to
do is to determine
2.1 how and where existing /newly developed standards can be utilized
(e.g. RDA); and
2.2. what are the existing gaps?
3. Finally, before we all get exited it would be most useful to
have/develop a common definition of the concept, function and purpose of
"cataloging" (the need for which I fully support.

At the risk of seeming overly precise, "cataloging" is, in part, the act of applying a classification or other metadata scheme to an object, as distinct from the classification scheme itself. Which of these is the research focus? or is it both?

>> Hello Diane and Megan and all,
>> I am very interested in helping with the Classification Research Workshop next year. I am working on an ALA Task Force (with a complicated charge, which I will spare everyone) that is working to increase awareness and support for research in library cataloging. We are planning on declaring 2010 the year of cataloging research, and so I would like to propose that this be the theme of the workshop for 2010. I know this needs support of the group, but I thought I would put it out there early, to let people think about it.
