  1. Fun with Geospatial Metadata, CUGIR, CORC, MARC, and OAI: The CSDGM to MARC Grant Project Adam Chandler, Olin LibraryElaine Westbrooks, Mann LibraryVivek Uppal, Dept. of Computer Science Metadata Working GroupOctober 12, 2001

  2. Project Workflow Converter Authority Control

  3. Problem How do we create a persistent URL pointing to “deep web” digital objects across very different systems?

  4. Overview (1) • What is GIS? • What is CUGIR? • What are Geospatial Metadata? • What is CORC? 4

  5. Overview (2) • What is the FGDC Clearinghouse? • Bucket Architecture • What is OAI? • Demonstration • Outcomes 5

  6. What is GIS? “A system for capturing, storing, checking, manipulating, analyzing and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the Earth.” (DoE, 1987) 6

  7. People Software Data GIS Procedures Hardware 7

  8. Examples of GIS 8

  9. CUGIR • Brief History • Subject areas • Unrestricted access to data & metadata • National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse & NSDI 9

  10. Geospatial Metadata Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata • Brief History • Definition • Purpose / Uses / Benefits • CUGIR Examples: TAZ 10

  11. CORC • What is CORC? Pathfinders Harvests Metadata Authority Control Classification • Metadata: MARC / DC-RDF 11

  12. FGDC Clearinghouse 12

  13. 13

  14. CUGIR 14

  15. Show Metadata

  16. Non-Persistent URL http://130.11.52.184/servlet/FGDCServlet/retrieve?on=2&el=F&db=current&rp=3&mr=1&ac=current&cid=181

  17. Clearinghouse Problems • 0 hits for users 50% of time (unpublished research) • > 10% or more or nodes are offline (Z39.50) • FGDC Clearinghouse is not well known • Record maintenance is a undefined • Harvesting is not a part of model • Data/Metadata are coupled with the server software (i.e., “smart archive, dumb object” DL model) 19

  18. Open Archives Initiative • low-barrier interoperability • data-provider & service-provider model • metadata harvesting model • shared metadata format & parallel, community-specific metadata formats • authentication : on purpose outside protocol • Source: Herbert Van De Sompel, CS 502, Spring 2001 http (get request) Service Provider Data Provider xml response 20

  19. OAI example

  20. Buckets • “Buckets are part of the larger ‘Smart Object, Dumb Archive’ DL Model (Maly, Nelson, & Zubair, 1999). SODA is a reaction to the vertically integrated (and non-interoperable) DLs that tended to grow from the ad-hoc origins of many popular DLs (Esler & Nelson, 1998). Separating the functionality of the archive from that of the DL allows for greater interoperability and federation of DLs. The archive's purpose is to provide DLs the location of buckets (the DLs can poll the buckets themselves for their metadata), and the DLs build their own indexes.” Source: M. Nelson: “Smart Objects and Open Archives.” D-Lib Magazine, February 2001, 7(2) http://www.dlib.org/dlib/february01/nelson/02nelson.html

  21. On Buckets and OAI “Just as buckets break the dependency of the information objects on archives, the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) breaks the dependency of archives on DLs …” - Michael L. Nelson

  22. On Buckets and OAI “The OAI does not address the issue of smart objects, but the archives in the OAI are very similar to the archives described in the SODA model in that they have minimal functionality. OAI archives aim for greater interoperability through performing less sophisticated functions (no keyword search functions defined, T&C is not handled at the protocol level) -- a sort of Reduced Instruction Set Computer philosophy for archives.” - Michael L. Nelson

  23. Problem Revisited How do we create a persistent URL pointing to “deep web” digital objects across very different systems?

  24. Project Workflow Converter Authority Control

  25. Step 1: Convert SGML -> MARC

  26. Step 2: MARC & Bucket Location

  27. Step 3a: Import to CORC (MARC) View: MARC 856 “Bucket” 30

  28. Step 3b: Import to CORC (DC RDF) View: DC RDF 856 “Bucket” 31

  29. Step 4a: Import DC-RDF

  30. Step 4b: Import DC RDF to Local Mysql Database

  31. MARC Record in Voyager Click here to see bucket 34

  32. Table: Bucket

  33. Table: DC

  34. Project Outcomes 1. Access for patrons -1,300 MARC Records in OPAC-1,300 MARC Records in CORC/WorldCat-2,600 DC-RDF Records in OAI 2. OAI data provider (DLF agreement) 3. CORC evaluation 4. Foundation for CUGIR 2.0 5. Data for cross-collection access research
