Data In :: Data Out The Archives Hub as part of a national resource discovery vision
Always think about flexible approaches in order to open up and maximise the potential of your data 2) Think visual, but combine this with a solid backbone that provides good content and context 3) 'Data out' relies upon the quality of 'data in'. Look for effective ways to maintain the quality of the data coming in. Key Points
ontology is overrated? Visual immediacy & flexible data
Innovation: link from description, etc. Visual immediacy
Query: “artists” Styled Results set Genesis styles & presents Query: “artists” + ‘women’ User only aware of “artists” search XML results set Archives Hub API: SRU All descriptions with ‘women’ as an index term + “artists” as a keywords
Linking Lives: • New perspective • Name-based interface • Connections with other data sources • Archives become inter-connected • Issues of authority, trust, provenance, open data licences Inter-connected
All these innovations rely on the data that comes in
UKAD: • New website • Indexing tutorial • Case studies • Other resources • Survey: more training, more guidance
Always think about flexible approaches in order to maximise the potential of your data 2) Think visual, but combine this with a solid backbone that provides content and context 3) 'Data out' relies upon the quality of 'data in'. Look for effective ways to maintain the quality of the data coming in. Data in = 4-pronged approach: control, education, data sharing & personal support.
