For those of you interested in the DLF Aquifer Metadata
Working Group’s work on a set of draft MODS Implementation
Guidelines
(http://www.diglib.org/aquifer/DLF_MODS_ImpGuidelines_ver4.pdf)
and who are able to attend the DLF Spring Forum, I'd like to
alert you to the Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions on April 11
at the Digital Library Federation Spring Forum
(http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2006/) where we'll discuss
the comments we've received on the initial draft released, our
subsequent revisions to the Guidelines, and solicit additional
comments and feedback from the participants in the BOF.
This BOF will span both BOF slots (4:15-5:15 and 5:25-6:25) at
the forum; attendees should feel free to drop in at any time.
Although there may be some overlap between the two sessions,
the first session will focus on an overview of the comments
received and a discussion of the changes made to the
guidelines. The second session will largely be devoted to an
open discussion of the best approach to a central question
raised by the guidelines and comments received: how and where
to describe the original analog object and its digital
surrogate. The Metadata Working Group has worked through
examples of several different approaches to this question and
will present these at the BOF. Example documents are also
available for review prior to the BOF at:
