Metadata course based on the familiarization with the basic characteristics and structures of metadata, existing schemes, as well as descriptions of digital objects in digital repositories in accordance with the new possibilities of organization and presentation of library funds.
During the course, participants will learn about the concept and characteristics of metadata; some of the widely used metadata schemes; the term digital object and its characteristics, as well as the structure, methods of description and display of digital objects in library repositories.
As librarians are increasingly required to have complete knowledge of the process of creating and mapping metadata, due to the process of digitalization of collections that is rapidly taking place in libraries, practical work takes place in the following stages:
– a comparative view of the format for describing physical objects and the format for describing digital objects,
– metadata mapping process,
– possible ways of transferring metadata from one system to another,
– mapping of the COMARC format with individual schemas for metadata,
– presentation of possible ways of storing and searching digital objects,
– simulation of work in Phaidra repositories.
Knowledge of the process of cataloging library material in automated library systems is required.
The course lasts 2 days for 3 hours. The number of participants is from 8 to 12.
