Terminology Services Project team: Diane Vizine-Goetz Andrew Houghton Roger Thompson Carol Hickey
Environment • Library methods competing with other approaches for accessing content • Computational, text-based search techniques (Web search engines) • Systems that exploit the opinions and actions of individuals & communities • Need to determine role of KO resources (authority files, subject headings, thesauri, classification schemes, etc.) in relation to these approaches
Classes of Services • Register • Search • Resolve • Navigate • Decompose • Enhance • Transform
Levels of Services • Basic • Enhanced • Experimental
Basic Services • Relatively easy • Useful • Can offer quality service • Gain experience • Examples • Transform the syntax • Artificial satellites—Mars—Orbits > $a Artificial satellites $z Mars $x Orbits • 629.43’4 > 629.43/4 > 629.434 • Navigate a hierarchy • Artificial satellites • BT Space vehicles
Enhanced Services • More complex • Exploit unique OCLC resources, e.g., • WorldCat • Genre terms/LCSH • DDC/LCSH • DDC • FAST • PAIS
Enhanced Services • DDC/LCSH relationships
Experimental Services • More complex • Outcome uncertain • Longer lead time to develop • Automatic classification • ePrints-UK • Record enhancement
