ALA Midwinter
PCC Participants Meeting, Sunday January 10, 2016, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: Boston Convention & Exhibition Center 107AB
Kate Harcourt will give an update on PCC's
<https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/about/PCC-Strategic-Plan-2015-2017.pdf> Vision,
Mission and Strategic Directions Report, 2015-2017 and provide background on
updates made to this living document. This will be followed by a panel
discussion focusing on Strategic Direction 3.4:
"SD3: Provide leadership for the shift in authority control from an
approach primarily based on creating text strings to one focused on managing
identities and entities" with SD 3.4 being, specifically, "Investigate
options and develop a plan to expand community participation in the creation
of identifiers and authority data."
Michelle Durocher, Head of Metadata Management/Metadata Creation for Harvard
Library, will describe early experimentation underway at Harvard Library to
reimagine local authority work as identity management, with unique
identifiers shared globally through ISNI. She will be joined by Harvard
colleagues in a panel discussion exploring the need for identifiers in a
variety of use cases. The group will discuss ideas coming out of their
internal exploration of developing a NACO Lite proposal and how those ideas
focused onto the need to expand participation in the PCC. Expansion may be
achieved by opening a pathway for sharing identity management activities and
local authority work not presently meeting the threshold for sharing through
the PCC.
