Although it builds closely on previous work, this project stands alone.

It seeks to re-conceptualise the cataloguing model by exploiting the potential of QDC and RDF. The underlying data models of QDC and RDF provide for relationships between metadata elements and between values.

The ethnographic research technique of asking subjects to comment on already collected data, will be combined with resource classification, in a rich web of classification data. Authoring, annotating, linking existing and providing additional records will combine the benefits of classification and multi-perspective cultural interpretation.
