I've added a short section to the futurelib wiki on extensible controlled vocabularies and registries thereof: http://futurelib.pbwiki.com/DataFormatIssues#Extensiblecontrolledvocabularylists This follows up on a blog post of mine regarding RDA and vocabulary lists: http://kcoyle.blogspot.com/2007/03/theres-always-something-new.html At the blog, Diane Hillmann has commented on the NDSL registry, and actually mocks up a possible registry for RDA lists: http://sandbox.metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/44.html I'm wondering why registries aren't used more extensively in our software and systems and standards -- and would a standard for registry entries help with that? I'll be at a NISO meeting later this week where we will be attempting to define some priorities for NISO standards, and can promote this if people think it would make a difference. kc -- ----------------------------------- Karen Coyle / Digital Library Consultant kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://www.kcoyle.net ph.: 510-540-7596 fx.: 510-848-3913 mo.: 510-435-8234 ------------------------------------Received on Mon Mar 26 2007 - 09:14:34 EDT
