October 21, 2024
Margie Hlava will be giving an invited talk, titled, “Updating a Core Metadata Standard” – Subject metadata is a core tenet of the Dublin Core.  The concept terms added to documents support search, navigation and discovery. The ISO 25964 “Information and documentation — Thesauri and interoperability with other vocabularies, Part 1:Thesauri for information retrieval; creation, management and use”  is in the revision stage.  All ISO standards require a review, reaffirmation or retiring every five years.  In the case of the ISO 25964 it is being revised.  There has been considerable outreach to gather an international panel of experts in the field and expand the examples to character sets beyond the Latin alphabet.  In addition, GUID guidance has been added and the models updated.  This presentation outlines the changes to the standard and the rational behind them.
