The Tag Suite was developed in response to a Document Type Definition (DTD) used by the NCBI/NLM PubMed Central project to archive life science journals from a variety of sources. Input and support from Harvard University Libraries, as well as support from The Andrew W.

The title of this blog post is an allusion to the graphic (shown above) that accompanied the recent Information Management column by Malcolm Chisholm, in which he wrote that data quality is not fitness for use as it is most commonly defined, stating he thinks “a strong case can be made that the definition is indeed inappropriate and should be replaced with a better one.”

IDC estimates that data will grow 50-fold by 2020, while the number of 'information containers' will multiply by 75. This growth presents two basic problems, of course: first, how to handle the data; and, second, what to do with it.

Within the world of business intelligence (BI) there is always much philosophical debate on what information architects refer to as “context.” However, while the debates of “one version of truth” versus “multiple perspectives” continue, we forget to realize the influence of context already embedded within the data.

Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators.
As reported a few weeks ago, OCLC has recommended that its member libraries adopt the Open Data Commons Attribution license (ODC-BY) when they share their library catalog data online. The recommendation to use an open license like ODC-BY is a positive step forward for OCLC because it helps communicate in advance the rights and responsibilities available to potential users of bibliographic metadata from library catalogs. But the decision by OCLC to recommend the licensing route — as opposed to releasing bibliographic metadata into the public domain — raises concerns that warrants more discussion.

In three years, I’ve seen quite a lot happen in the world of digital preservation. I thought my last blog post for The National Archives might be an opportunity to put a shout-out to some of the existing community projects and initiatives which have already done enormous amounts for the cause and look set to continue this trend for a long time.

It’s important to note that I didn’t title this post “Implementing a Data Governance Architecture”. Data governance is not a technology space, tool – or architecture. As our data governance framework illustrates, tools and architecture represents but one of many facets needed to support an enterprise data governance competency. But once you’ve defined your vision and business case with a clear approach for managing the people, process and policy facets, technology can play a significant role in determining the ultimate success or failure of your data governance efforts

ResearchSpace - A Semantic Collaborative research platform for cultural heritage and arts research.One of the first datasets to be made available in RS for annotation and other research activity will be the British Museum's collection data (currently 2 million objects). The development of the ResearchSpace system (during 2011/12) will have both technical and process synergies with the Mellon’s CollectionSpace and ConservationSpace projects which aim to produce next generation collection and conservation systems. However, ResearchSpace will support data exchange with other collection systems whether commercial or open source.
