[Sigcr-l] SIG-CR: "Year of cataloging"

Allyson,

Yes, thanks.  I was hoping for your answer, and the discussion that's 
taking place now -- clarification of just what "year of cataloging" would 
mean.  I agree with those who suggest expanding the scope, and would 
suggest at least expanding the *perspective.*  I think library cataloging 
may have things to learn from the broader 
metadata/classification/not-really-library world.  For example, the sort 
of application of classification that Susanne Humphrey mentions in her 
post is something we've been doing at EY for a dozen years -- and we are 
not a library engaged in traditional library cataloging.

In any event, I am excited to see this renewed level of interest and 
energy in SIG/CR, and would be interested in helping to support its 
activities.

Regards,
Laura

Hi Laura,
I would say that in this case cataloging will be broadly defined (in my 
proposal) as the process and the tools/standards and anything else that 
might relate to library cataloging.  Is that what you mean?
Thanks for asking,
Allyson

I'd be interested in hearing more about how you are defining "library 
cataloging" for the purpose of this research.  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? 

Regards,
Laura

Actually, the intention is to highlight research in library cataloging, so 
I will propose the title of cataloging research.  But, if others want to 
amend, it is up to the group.

Hi all...

could we potentially think of 2010 as a year of cataloging/metadata 
research?

there's a fuzzy line as is (i personally of them as one and the same, 
although maybe everyone doesn't). RDA is inclusive of metadata for digital 

resources.

i believe there could be some really beneficial implications too, letting 
the larger world see the importance of cataloging to many activities, 
including those couched more as metadata.

cheers, jane

Resource Description and Access (RDA) and new research potentials coming 
out of its implementation and use.

to let people think about it.
