5 Things Thursday: Metadata, Getty Research, MOMA, Tracking Ideas

Here are five more things to help you discover and dissect the world of information:

  1. Do we really need another arts-related authority list? The Getty Research Institute yells a resounding "of course" and unveils CONA - the Cultural Objects Name Authority. CONA development is still a work in progress so if you can contribute, please do.
  2. David Diamond posts an article on CMS Wire on The Metadata Lifecycle for Digital Content. The metadata timeline described is interesting because it points out that metadata is indeed dynamic and needs to evolve with the asset.
  3. Claire Kelley writes about visiting the MOMA Library and even includes a little sneak peek on Tumblr.
  4. How do you keep track of your ideas? Read all about how the Library Scenester (Erin Dorney) does it. I happen to share many of her techniques including old fashioned bookmarking. That's how I write this blog as a matter of fact...
  5. Want a recap of the recent Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management Conference in Los Angeles? Here it is and includes some great talks on best practices, the cloud, and a nice case study on Symantec.
