‘The Universal Catalogue’ a cultural sector viewpoint David Dawson Senior Policy Adviser (Digital Futures) Museums, Libraries and archives Council

Museums, Libraries and Archives Council the lead strategic body for the sector in England objectives –increase participation and investment in the sector –modernising services –putting museums, libraries and archives at the heart of national, regional and local life. works in close partnership with the nine regional agencies through the MLA Partnership to ensure there are strong and effective links between national and regional activities.

Do we need a ‘universal catalogue’? Collections are held by institutions You have to know which institution has collections of interest to you Then you can find what you are looking for How do you know which institution has collections of interest to you? Doesn’t Google do it all?

Local history in school 2 university museums 3 local authority museums 2 independent museums Library service Archives service AND The parish is on the border with another County so … English Heritage British Museum Natural History Museum British Library Pathe Newsreel Archive Regional Film Archive British FiIm Institute The National Archives …. Background piece on Cameron’s consituency?

People’s Network Discover Service harvests other databases (OAI, web services) –500k item-level records –link to images etc held institution websites (option to harvest thumbnails) –more to come a condition of our funding 10 national museums

development version for July launch

Search Protocols

Metadata Extended Dublin Core to support Search –Keyword (in title/description/subject) –Subject –Title –Creator –"Who" (creator, contributor, publisher, agent-as- subject) –"What" (concept/thing-as-subject) –"Where" (spatial coverage) –"When" (temporal coverage) –plus display items

So far, so good but … People trust information from museums, libraries and archives How do we demonstrate Trust on the internet? How can this body of knowledge be used by the commercial sector?

European Digital Library

initiated by France i2010 Strategy for the Information Society about to be built … information from the cultural sector – museums, archives, libraries, audio-visual –Books, images, films, audio etc –27 countries, 30+ languages

Semantic interoperability 2010 functionality 2008 Search functionality MARC TEL AP EAD Archives AP SPECTRUM / CIDOC Museum AP ONE institution may have both library (MARC) and archives (EAD) databases Support for semantic interoperability (eg RDF) XML Harvesting Scholarly Publications ePrints AP Libraries search Controlled vocabularies Existing portals (UK PNDS, FR Guichet, DE BAM etc ) The European Digital Library Archives search Museums search ePrints search ‘Who, what, where, when’ Other … specific APs Controlled vocabularies Search

The problem establishing in the metadata the USE that can be made of digital objects –Creative Commons / Creative Archive –Commercial content how is this encoded? how are uses defined? –what is education? –what is non-commercial? –commercial re-use? work in this area with print publishing industry –XML encoding of product licencing to work effectively, needs to be adopted by commercial sector Is there a similar requirement???

Terminologies Vitally important – as long as I don’t have to do it! Need to map between terminologies and folksonomies BECTA Terminology Bank –English National Curriculum –Mapping to other terminologies Web-based thesaurus management tool (more or less) open source How do we map across commercial / public sector terminologies?

Questions?
