FISH
Forum on International Standards in Heritage. This forum supports anyone
involved in recording information about the history, heritage or current
state of the buildings, monuments, archaeological sites, wrecks and chance
discoveries that form the historic environment of the United Kingdom and
Ireland. FISH has developed the MIDAS and INSCRIPTION standards and the
FISH Interoperability Toolkit.
FRBR
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic records. This study by an IFLA Study Group, published in 1996, identified the functions of a bibliographic record as find, identify, select and obtain. An entity-relationship model identified that bibliographic records described works, expressions, manifestations and items, together with persons and corporate bodies creating those items, and concepts, objects, events and places describing the content of the items.
Folksonomy
Folksonomy is a neologism for a practice of collaborative categorization using freely chosen keywords. More colloquially, this refers to a group of people cooperating spontaneously to organize information into categories, noted because it is almost completely unlike traditional formal methods of faceted classification. This phenomenon typically only arises in non-hierarchical communities, such as public websites, as opposed to multi-level teams. Since the organizers of the information are usually its primary users, folksonomy produces results that reflect more accurately the population's conceptual model of the information.
Full Disclosure
During 1999, UKOLN and the National Council on Archives carried out a
study for a national programme of restrospective catalogue conversion.
A report entitled 'Full Disclosure' was submitted in June 1999 and its recommendations accepted.
Full Disclosure is now a British Library led initiative which extends
to all museums, libraries and archives in the UK. Its aim is easy online
discovery of all major sources of all freely accessibly UK information
by all potential users. In other words, if, as a member of the public,
you are entitled to consult material in an archive or a museum or a library,
you should be able to search the catalogues via the internet, rather than
having travel to the institution in person.
