  1. Cultural Heritage Markup Strategies • Bibliotheca Alexandria • Digital Library of the Middle East • January, 2006

  2. How can this image of a Sassanian seal from the 5th century C.E. be located in a collection?

  3. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Multiple ways to show data and indexing Library mechanism for markup FacetAuthority control Special display tools WHERE Gazetteer Map e.g. NGA WHEN Time period directory Timeline e.g. HumanSaga WHO Biographical dict. Text & images e.g. Who’s Who WHAT Thesaurus Syndetic structure

  4. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Facet Authority control Special display tools WHERE Gazetteer Map e.g. NGA Data location is now shown in a map generated by using latitude longitude markup

  5. Gazetteer shows alternate names Place name is tied to coordinates

  6. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Facet Authority control Special display tools WHENTime period directory Timeline e.g. HumanSaga Directory of “named time periods

  7. TimeMap with GIS draws a map with the polygons for empires. Instruction for this procedure is contained in the named time periods

  8. Multiple maps can be created for comparison

  9. Relationship between place names & period names So a similar solution: A gazetteer-like Time Period Directory. Gazetteer: Place name – Type – Spatial markers (Lat & long) -- When Time Period Directory Period name – Type – Time markers (Calendar) – Where Note the symmetry. Note the connections between Where and When. A directory of 2,000 named time periods derived from LCSH Chronological subdivisions is at ecai.org/imls2004

  10. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Facet Authority control Special display tools WHOBiographical dict. Text & images e.g. Who’s Who Lives involve multiple: • Places - Ctesiphon • Times – 632CE • Events – Arab invasion • Other people – Khosrau II

  11. WHEN and Who. These named time periods are derived from Library of Congress catalog subject headings and so can be used for catalog searching which finds books on topics important for that time period. Named Time Periods located through Library of Congress

  12. WHEN, WHERE and WHO. Catalog records found from a time period search commonly include names of persons important at that time. Their names can be forwarded to, e.g., biographies in the Wikipedia encyclopedia.

  13. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Facet Authority control Special display tools WHATThesaurus Syndetic structure Sasanian Coin from unknown location Associated places Known government centers and mints

  14. Associated places Mintsalong trade routes Mints in mountains

  15. Time sensitive interface software Georegistration for mapping Time bar to limit search

  16. Records from Internet accessible resources From a Clearinghouse search we find registered items. The markup allows links to be opened We find the Ottoman Empire, that can be mapped.

  17. Record for “Historic Sites of Iraq” The metadata follows Dublin Core with extensions We add latitude and longitude to the Dublin Core

  18. Example of software generated mapUmayyad Caliphate & Sasanian Empire

  19. Page of links relating to Ctesiphon Links to library catalogs

  20. Z39.50 search of Library of Congress catalog

  21. Link to image Details of record

  22. ECAI Metadata Infrastructure Facet Authority control Special display tools WHATThesaurus Syndetic structure
