FW: [nmlis] We missed of Great Information Scientist Shri V.L. Kalyane last night-sad demise

It's most shocking to know the sad demise of Mr V L Kalyane. He was a great human being, always encouraging and contributed volumes of work on Scientometrics. I knew him since years when he joined BARC SIRD and had several discussions on professional interest. His contributions towards LIS profession are invaluable. His inspirations lead several professionals to work on Scientometrics. May his soul rest in peace and the members of the bereaved family have the strength to bear the loss.

Plethora of metadata standards
by Jai Haravu 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

I am reproducing verbatim a posting on the many metadata standrads that exist in the information domain. I recommend that library professionals should read the article given in the posting and the evaluation of the different standards. In a lighter vein, as somebody pointed out: 'Standards are like toothbrushes. Everyone agrees that they are good, but no one wants to use that of others'. The content of the post folllows: "The sheer number of metadata standards in the cultural heritage sector is overwhelming, and their inter-relationships further complicate the situation. A new resource, Seeing Standards: A Visualization of the Metadata Universe,<http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/~jenlrile/metadatamap/>, is intended to assist planners with the selection and implementation of metadata standards. Seeing Standards is in two parts: (1) a poster-sized visualization plotting standards based on their applicability in a variety of contexts, and (2) a glossary of metadata standards in either poster or pamphlet form. Each of the 105 standards listed is evaluated on its strength of application to defined categories in each of four axes: community, domain, function, and purpose. Standards more strongly allied with a category are displayed towards the center of each hemisphere, and those still applicable but less strongly allied are displayed along the edges. The strength of a standard in a given category is determined by a mixture of its adoption in that category, its design intent, and its overall appropriateness for use in that category. The standards represented are among those most heavily used or publicized in the cultural heritage community, though certainly not all standards that might be relevant are included. A small set of the metadata standards plotted on the main visualization also appear as highlights above the graphic. These represent the most commonly known or discussed standards for cultural heritage metadata. Work preparing Seeing Standards was supported by a professional development grant from the Indiana University Libraries. Content was developed by Jenn Riley, Metadata Librarian in the Indiana University Digital Library Program. Design work was performed by Devin Becker of the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, and soon to be Digital Initiatives& Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Idaho. I hope this resource proves to be helpful to those working with metadata standards in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions.
