Hi Kelley - I conducted that usability test on Scherzo and wrote that
report so I can answer your questions! I think a work-focused approach can
work for users, but we had to scale back on what we assumed users would
understand on the search results page. After this test of the system, we
Does this mean that a work-focused approach is not actually what users
want or need? Does it mean that the work-centered approach needs to be
implemented differently in the user interface? Are these results somehow
specific to music? Do they reflect users' familiarity with the typical
library
Hi Kelley,
If you haven't already, you might want to look at the music score and sound
recording FRBRization work done on the Variations-FRBR project here at Indiana
University. I'm not sure how directly useful this would be for your work with
moving images, but there may be some useful
Thanks, Jon. I have seen the Variations work and also talked to Jenn Riley
about it. It has definitely influenced me, although we are going in a slightly
different direction and moving images have some different needs from music.
One thing about Variations that struck me is this paragraph from
Is it out of the question to extract technical metadata from the
audiovisual materials themselves (via MediaInfo et al)? It would minimize
the amount of MARC that needs to be processed and give more
accurate/complete data than relying on old cataloging records.

One of the things that absolutely blows my mind is the widespread practice
of hand typing this stuff into records. Aside from an obvious opportunity
to introduce
I would have to agree with this where the data exists. The data captured by
digital cameras these days can be incredibly extensive and thorough. Given
this, I recently started exposing this data for all of the 8,000 photos I
now have on my photos web site http://FreeLargePhotos.com/ . There is now
I've been working with embedded metadata for some years and there are great
tools out there for embedding, extracting and reusing metadata (technical,
administrative, and descriptive). The tools allow for batch data entry, use
metadata schema or standards. As a digital archivist whose job is
Kelley,
The work you are proposing is interesting and overlaps somewhat both
with work I have already done and with a new project I'm looking into
here at UVa.
I have been the primary contributor to the Marc4j java project for the
past several years and am the creator of the project SolrMarc
Well, that would be much easier, but most of what I am working with are records
for physical items (DVD, VHS, film) or licensed streaming video. The sample
records are also not all UO records so I don't necessarily even have access to
the source material (our goal is to build a general purpose
Robert,
Your work also sounds very interesting and definitely overlaps with some of
what we want to do. It seems like a lot of people are trying to get useful
format information out of MARC records and it's unfortunate that it is so
complicated. I would be very interested to see your logic for

there may be some general interest. I have put up some more detailed

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for posting this. When I began work on jobs.code4lib.org I was hoping it
would encourage people to post short term contracts. The thought being that it
may be easier for some institutions to find money for projects than full-time
staff, and it could encourage more open

I might be able to help in your search. I'm in the process of starting a

developers. I'm looking for people to post programming projects on the
