This Wednesday, July 16, we are meeting in LIS 341 (ISRL "Fishbowl") on the 3rd floor of GSLIS building, from 12:30 to 2:00 pm to discuss issues of collection-item metadata relations in temporal coverage metadata of IMLS Digital Collections and Content (IMLS DCC) aggregation of digital content. Wu Zheng will lead our discussion. In his presentation, Wu will examine the temporal coverage metadata extracted from IMLS DCC item repository and collection registry to see how well item-level dates fall within collection-level coverages. Wu will talk about the statistics, possible reasons for exception cases, and possible implications.
