.... our library services reality
The spaces and places of libraries are physical and virtual, adopting and adapting Web 2.0 media tools to enhance and envelop school learning communities into a series of globally powered learning commons—dynamic, collaborative 21st century library environments!

Whereas traditional library metadata has always been focused on helping humans find and make use
of information, linked data ontologies are focused on helping machines find and make use of information.

On the web – of the web ~ http://kcoyle.net/presentations/lita2011.html
This uri from the Library of Congress http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85042531 has now become the globally available, machine and human readable, reliable source for the description for the subject heading of ‘Elephants’ containing links to its related terms (in a way that both machines and humans can navigate). Open Library is an open,
editable library catalog building towards a web page for every book ever published. Project of the Internet Archive.

This is our context! .... our library services reality The catalogue has been a silo but with RDA data can move
beyond bibliographic and authority records
RDA encourages the recording of sufficient data to support more precise collocationRDA emphasizes the importance of relationshipsRDA adds precision to access pointsRDA provides greater internationalisationRDA builds a display of results that conveys meaningful information to the user
This is our context!
Metadata ~ what are the rules of engagement?Schema ~ what about controlled vocabularies?Users ~ what are their access needsInterface ~ how many access points?Data ~ what are the opportunities for user engagement? Media ~ what are the elements of interactivity?Access ~ what can we learn from the semantic web?
.... old questions, new answers

This is our context! .... OPAC as discovery interface
JUDY O’CONNELL CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY
Context aware: Points on the curriculum
Points on the interest continuumCapacity to support learning discovery!
Access aware: Interfaces to support searching and discoverySearch aware: Natural, predictive, responsiveResults aware: Multimodal, multi-depository, relevant, filtered
How do you stack up?
