Jacob, This is pretty basic, since we're only using one subject term per article, but it may give you some ideas. Take a look in particular at the Topics pages, or individual issues to see the controlled vocabulary we're using. http://www.cdc.gov/library/sciclips/index.html Pamela Sedgwick-Barker Phone: 404 639-3806 Email: [log in to unmask] Stephen B. Thacker CDC Library Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jacob Ratliff Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 2:22 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Public Health Metadata Hi all, I currently work in an International public health non-profit, and we are setting up enterprise wide document management for dealing with Knowledge Management and Information Management issues. Lots of moving pieces, but I wanted to get some input on metadata specific to the medical/health world. I am looking for some metadata guidance specifically related to the medical/health world. Is anyone using any standard controlled vocabularies? Should I be looking into Linked Data? I'm starting off the research phase for all of the metadata, so links to resources and case studies is greatly helpful! Bonus points to anything that is international in scope, as over 75% of the employees at my company are non-US based (most of them in Africa).
