David Green ============================================== "DISCOVERING ONLINE RESOURCES ACROSS THE HUMANITIES: A PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUBLIN CORE". Edited by P Miller and D Greenstein on behalf of AHDS and the UK Office for Library and Information Networking (UKOLN). "Discovering Online Resources" provides a practical and accessible introduction to the importance and use of Dublin Core "metadata" for the purposes of describing and discovering humanities information resources online. Resulting from an extensively consultative study funded by the UK's Joint Information Systems Committee and involving hundreds of information specialists and humanities scholars, this volume will be essential to anyone interested in cataloguing, finding, or integrating access to distributed online information resources. The work comprises six chapters and an extensive "bibliography" providing pointers to those who require further information about metadata, the Dublin Core, cataloguing standards currently in use in the humanities, and the Z39.50 network application protocol. ============================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction "Crossing the Great Divide: Integrating Access to the Scholarly Record" -Daniel Greenstein (Arts and Humanities Data Service Executive) and --Lorcan Dempsey (UK Office for Library and Information Networking) Chapter 1 "The Dublin Core: A Simple Content Description Model for Electronic Resources" - Stuart Weibel (OCLC Office of Research) Chapter 2 "Reports From the Front: Domain-Specific Perspectives on Cross-Domain Discovery" Chapter 3 "Unifying Resource Discovery Metadata for the Humanities: An Implementation Based Upon the Dublin Core" Paul Miller (Archaeology Data Service) Chapter 4 "Metadata and Middleware: A Systems Architecture for Cross-Domain Discovery" -Daniel Greenstein (Arts and Humanities Data Service Executive) and -Robin Murray (Fretwell-Downing Informatics) Chapter 5 "In at the Shallow End: Metadata and Cross-Domain Resource Discovery" - Lorcan Dempsey, Rosemary Russell, and Rachel Heery (UK Office for Library and Information Networking) Conclusion "Engendering Consensus" - Paul Miller (Archaeology Data Service) Appendix "Sample Records Utilizing the Dublin Core" - Compiled by Paul Miller (Archaeology Data Service) "References and Further Reading" -Compiled by Daniel Greenstein (Arts and Humanities Data Service Executive) and Paul Miller (Archaeology Data Service) _____________________________________________________ ORDER FORM Discovering Online Resources Across the Humanities: A Practical Implementation of the Dublin Core.
