Metadata hoef je niet te overdrijven

Bookmarked Cleaning up metadata, and building with Dublin Core (by Ruben Schade)

Je eigen metadata moet je niet overdrijven, aldus Ruben Schade. HTML en Dublin core is ruim voldoende. Verder ben je alleen maar aan het cateren voor specifieke hergebruikers van je content, zoals Twitter. Twitter kan het ook prima zelf uiteraard. Of zoals Jacky Alciné het vorig jaar verwoordde in een IndieWeb sessie: Wat het ook is dat jouw data consumeert, daar ligt de verantwoordelijkheid om te begrijpen welke metadata is gebruikt, en welke verdere betekenis je daaraan kunt geven. Interpretatie ligt kortom bij de hergebruiker, en de maker hoeft niet alles voor te kauwen voor luie hergebruikers.

… all the same metadata is there that was before, so any sufficiently motivated actor could use it.

Client: “The quality of our metadata needs to be complete and excellent.”
Ok. Upload data to their data warehouse. Upload rejected.

About


Blog Interdependent Thoughts maintained since 2002 by Ton Zijlstra.
European citizen in a networked world. Based in the Netherlands, living in Europe, working globally. There are no Others. There is just me and many of you.

I write about how our digital and networked world changes how we work, learn, decide and organize. I explore the tools and strategies that help us navigate the networked world. I am passionate about increasing people's ability to act (knowledge), and their ability to change (learning). Key-words: open data, open government, fablabs, making, complexity, networked agency, networked learning, ethics by design.

    • A Look At The EU High Value Data List This week the EU published a draft law mandating governments to open data in 6 thematic areas. In 2020 I was involved in a study to suggest the data sets to include. Now I'm taking a look at the results.

    • GDPR as QA Today I was at a session at the Ministry for Interior Affairs in The Hague on the GDPR, organised by the center of expertise on open government.

    • BlogWalk: Space, Speed and Scale Taking Bohemianism to be a mindset more than a (forced or chosen) lifestyle, as described in the previous BlogWalk posting, I’ll now have a look at the things I took out of the meeting.

    • Blogging Forecast In the coming week expect light blogging, or no blogging at all. I will be enjoying a short vacation, travelling with the Drents Symphonic Orchestra to Vaduz (Liechtenstein), in which my partner plays as a stand-in.
