Special Session: Metadata Value Spaces

Session Organizer:
  Joseph T. Tennis, Information School, University of Washington.

More and more controlled vocabularies, or values, are being used in the networked environment.  This session will explore the relationship between metadata structures and values.  This special session will discuss the traditions and innovations in controlled vocabulary use in the networked environment.  It will look at questions like: how does bibliographic classification change in the networked environment?  How do registries figure into the use of and interpretation of values in metadata?  And how do we evaluate the use of controlled vocabularies in the networked environment?
