“…Quality in library cataloging has been defined as maintaining authority control (Bade, etc. ), absence of typographical errors (Beall, ; Beall & Kafadar, ; Mann, ), the avoidance of duplicate records (Norgarde et al, ), and the level of information provided in the bibliographic data, often referred to as record enhancement (Hanson & Schalow, ; Shedenhelm & Burk, ). These criteria for library metadata quality greatly overlap with criteria of digital library metadata quality such as completeness, accuracy, and consistency (e.g., Bruce & Hillmann, ) which has been commonly accepted as three major criteria of quality by both digital and traditional library community (e.g., Park & Tosaka, 2009).…”

Everyday hundreds of millions of metadata records provide users access to information. To remain functional, metadata schemas changes in response to shifts in information user needs and standards of information representation. This poster presents results of the longitudinal quantitative analysis of change occurring in a select group of library metadata records over time. This study traces the evolution of a sample of OCLC WorldCat metadata records created in MARC format according to new RDA standard of information representation. The same records were obtained at four data collection points at approximately one year intervals. Findings reveal a significant increase in the number of instances of a variety of metadata elements: both those introduced by the RDA standard and traditional pre-RDA elements. This study, along with related research, contributes to the understanding of metadata change and its relation to improvements in metadata quality and information access.

“…The users can use search engines or browse the online catalog structures to retrieve product information that interests them. Traditional online catalog research such as [1]- [3] focused on providing better searching strategies for search engines to retrieve the information in an existing online library catalog. Other research such as [4]- [6] focused on building an interface to make the searching easier.…”

Abstract-Given a set of products, where each is characterized by a set of attribute values, an online catalog is an organization of a set of product pages on the web through which users can access their required product information. A good online catalog is crucial to the success of an e-commerce web site.Traditionally, an online catalog is mainly built by hand. To what extent this can be automated is a challenging problem. Recently, there have been investigations on how to reorganize an existing online catalog based on some criteria, but none of them has addressed the problem of organizing an online catalog automatically from scratch. This paper attempts to tackle this problem.We model an online catalog organization as a decision tree structure and propose a metric, based on the popularity of products and the relative importance of product attribute values, to evaluate the quality of a catalog organization. The problem is then formulated as a decision tree construction problem. Although traditional decision tree algorithms, such as C4.5, can be used to generate online catalog organization, the catalog constructed is generally not good based on our metric. An efficient greedy algorithm (GENCAT) is thus developed, and the experimental results show that GENCAT produces better catalog organizations based on our metric.

“…Sin embargo, la implementación de las innovaciones necesarias para fomentar las búsquedas exploratorias encuentra barreras relacionadas con varios elementos del sistema: la estructura y contenido del registro bibliográfico, las técnicas de recuperación y los métodos para poner de manifiesto las relaciones entre los elementos informativos (Ortiz Repiso y Moscoso 1999). Estos obstáculos deberían superarse si se quieren alcanzar algunos objetivos de los catálogos de tercera generación que, según o Norgard (Norgard et al 1993), hace ya años deberían:…”
