Packing light: Building the Bodleian's metadata block
Emma Stanford - Bodleian Libraries (United Kingdom)
Abstract: Following the example of the British Library and Cambridge University Library, the Bodleian Libraries in Oxford have created a new template for the descriptive metadata block in our manifests, aiming to find a formula that reflects the spirit of the Presentation API, suits our existing metadata, and harmonizes with our peer institutions' manifests. In this lightning talk I'll give a brief overview of our new template and discuss some of the challenges we've faced in getting it to work across a wide range of genres, projects and eras of digitization.
