www-lorcandempsey-net-1456		Two metadata directions in libraries			.html	text/html	4386	315	51	The network connects together many entities or types of resource in new ways, and interaction between these entities requires advance knowledge, often provided by metadata, to be efficient. An interesting example here is Local Contexts which works with collecting institutions and Indigenous communities and "provides a new set of procedural workflows that emphasize vetting content, collaborative curation, ethical management and sustained outreach practices within institutions." Typically, they will also be using metadata sourced in the four ways I described above, as 'professionally created' metadata works with metadata contributed by, say, individual researchers, as entities may be established and related programmatically, and as usage data helps organize resources. For linked data to move into common use, libraries need reliable and persistent identifiers and metadata for the critical entities they rely on. The OCLC Research Library Partners Metadata Managers Focus Group is an important venue for discussion of metadata directions and community needs.	./cache/www-lorcandempsey-net-1456.html	./txt/www-lorcandempsey-net-1456.txt
