Outcomes from the OCLC Research Library Partnership Web Archiving Metadata Working Group
Channel: OCLC Research
Date: 10/05/2018

The OCLC Research Library Partnership Web Archiving Metadata Working Group recently issued three publications: recommendations for descriptive metadata that uniquely meet the needs of web content, an extensive literature review, and an analysis of 11 web harvesting tools. In this webinar, four members of the working group will focus on the metadata recommendations: Rebecca Guenther will set the stage by situating WAM’s work relative to existing library and archives standards and practices; Jackie Dooley will give an overview of the 14 data elements that comprise the heart of the recommendations; Claudia Horning will discuss their use within the context of RDA and MARC; and Mary Samouelian will discuss implementation in the archival standards context.

This webinar will be of interest to those who work with metadata or with web archiving.
