Re: [W3C Group Management] Christine Oliver has joined the Publishing Community Group

Hi Zheng,

I would be happy to introduce myself to the group.

I am Chris Oliver, Head of Metadata and Processing at the University of Ottawa Library. As you can guess, the University is located in Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Most academic librarians also carry out research and service activities, and my area of activity has been in the development and maintenance of metadata standards for bibliographic data. I have a long history of involvement with the development of RDA (Resource Description and Access), the international standard for creating metadata to support the discovery and identification of resources in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. I have also served for eight years as a member and chair of the Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group that is a part of IFLA, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. I am currently serving as a member of IFLA's Committee on Standards. During my work on standards development, both with RDA work and IFLA work,  I have frequently been in discussions about the development and implementation of best practices to ensure the recording of metadata about accessibility features. I am also a member of the ARL CARL Task Force on Marrakesh Implementation. As you probably know the Marrakesh Treaty is intended to facilitate access to published works for persons who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled.

I am particularly interested in the work of the Publishing CG Accessibility Task Force. I had heard about the interest to map accessibility metadata to MARC formats. I was invited to join the meeting on March 10th to discuss this mapping work. RDA data elements map to MARC 21, and we have been interested in knowing how to introduce greater granularity in bibliographic metadata by referencing the schema.org data elements and ONIX vocabularies. There is also interest in encouraging greater use of accessibility fields already present in MARC 21.  I am very interested in participating in this mapping exercise. A cross-domain mapping exercise has the chance to lay the groundwork for smoother interoperability.

Chris
