  1. If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?": Introduction and overview of issues Gordon Dunsire

  2. My yellow brick road • Early 2007: the world is black and white • And I’m somewhat pessimistic about the future of cataloguing • And the emerging information Dark Age … • Mid 2007: the wind begins to blow • SLIC’n’Flickr; NLS’n’YouTube • Theme for my workshop for Croatian archives, libraries and museums is … • Web2.0 stuff

  3. Thunder and (en)lightening • Me: I can do the Flickr and YouTube bit, plus a Google maps mash-up • Co-presenter at workshop (younger (much!), slimmer (a lot!): I can do a basic introduction to other Web2.0 stuff like del.ic.io.us, Facebook, etc. • And I get blown away …

  4. Not in Kansas … • So at the next CDLR staff meeting • I enthusiastically suggest that we should all be getting engaged with this stuff • And the Director agrees! • And then the rest of the team (looking a bit bored) point out that they’ve all been on Facebook for months … • And then I realize …

  6. Collective metadata • Today’s presentations will focus on metadata for information retrieval • And most of it will be familiar to library cataloguers, even if the labels are different • That metadata, like those who create it, will be associated with specific organisations or individuals • But what about metadata and Web2.0 at a higher level of granularity, and, in turn, cataloguers acting collectively?

  7. A collective mash-up • Location metadata from collection-level descriptions in the Scottish Collections Network (SCONE) • Mashed with Google Maps • Using the Application Program Interface • Public, free

  8. Google map of all Scotland’s archives, libraries and museums

  9. Locations of Robert Burns collections in Scotland

  10. The users? But what about

  11. Some typical end-users

  12. And collective cataloguers? • Web2.0 now an essential tool for developing cataloguing standards to meet the challenges of an international, digital environment • Wikis, blogs, Skype, etc. • And those standards becoming more Web2.0 compatible • Open declaration for common utility • FRBR, LCSH, LCNAF, MARC21, RDA …

  14. Web3.0 • If we can tell computers that: • Library.title = Archive.title = Museum.caption = Bibliotheque.titre = MARC.245 = <title> • “Jane Smith” (writer) <> “Jane Smith” (musician) • “Economics” = “330” > “交換率” • Then Web3.0 = Cataloguable Web = Semantic Web
