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.

Understanding How Search Works
Webinar, Presented by Margie Hlava

Register in advance for this webinar: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LWtrHzmpTHOBAmHdBLa12w
With the launches of various LLMs and GPTs over the past two years, we have learned that the size of the collection matters and things we only dreamed of, have become a reality. In the meantime, we have leapfrogged over some of the WHAT about search and the basics that underlie HOW search works haven’t changed since the early 1970s! Understanding How Search Works enables you to make better use what you have in place now and how to implement those much-hyped Gen AI platforms. Join Marjorie M. K. Hlava, Founder and Chief Science Officer at Access Innovations, Inc. for an insightful webinar that will open your eyes and help you make informed decisions about which steps to take next – without a Computer Science degree!
