Re: Categorization for metadata element sets

Hi, Gordon,
Thanks for your comment.  We also moved ISBD into the published section.[1]
Best,

Antoine and colleagues



This works for me. I think it's good to separate the stuff into "from LAM" and "from other communities" because the LAM (mainly L) stuff will hopefully be familiar to librarian readers, and they may be surprised at the other stuff. It emphasises the cross-community interest. If it's all mixed up, the impact is lessened, I think.



btw, you can move ISBD from the work in progress section to the published section. I will update the entry on the Library Data Resources page real soon now.



Cheers



Gordon

We then present relevant element sets, which are rooted in other communities. This categorization is often arbitrary, as many vocabularies already result from cross-community work. We believe it shows however the great potential of the linked data approach, where easily sharing, re-using or extending a diversity of element sets independently from their origin shall be the rule.
