Hi all,
Yesterday, listening to a Talking with Talis podcast interview with
Jonathan Gorman
http://blogs.talis.com/panlibus/archives/2008/07/jonathan-gorman-talks-with-talis.php
I was very intrigued by some comments he made regarding the need for
catalogers to have an "integrated development environment" similar to
that which many programmers have. I completely agree with him, and I
was wondering if anybody out there knows of any place or project that
is working on creating such a tool. I'm interested in contributing to
the development of better automated tools to support those who create
and manage collections of metadata, and I have a 12-month sabbatical
scheduled for 2009-2010. Since I don't currently have the programming
knowledge or skills to tackle a software development project on my
own, I'd love to get hooked up with an existing project.
Thanks for posting or sending me any leads you might have.
