Metadata, Presented at SAC Conferences

Principles of Distributed Representation
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Principles of Distributed Representation (ID: SAC0502)
Author(s):Stephen Downes
Origin:Presented at SAC Conferences (08/09/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:To a large degree, learning resource metadata is viewed as a single, static entity. An alternative approach will be presented here, one where metadata has multiple authors, is distributed across multiple locations, and depends on the resource being described and the point of view of the person reading it. Such metadata is an instance of distributed representation. This talk will describe the nature and properties of a distributed system, contrast it with current approaches, and provide development and deployment examples.
