Hey y'all

so after all that bizbaz here's where I am: I want to get my hands dirty
doing something, and while listening and thinking here's what I think I can
do (right now)

1. Combine the Anchor Archive terms and the LCSH (in current use by the
   zinesters) into one controlled list in an RDF vocab (skos probably)

2. Map the xXZineCoreXx to MODS/MARCXML/DC/EAD

To be sure I'm clear, I mean I'd be writing an XSLT which will accept input
as any of the latter and convert it to the former. I could write 4 separate
ones that go the other way, if folks think that'd be useful too.

How does that sound? I may need some pointers as to where I could find zines
in those 4 formats, as examples are very helpful.

Excited to get into the water!

I walked away with an action of "MOAR DOCUMENTATION."  All agree?

To that end, I can commit to documenting zine libraries and their metadata formats (I have notes on this...  I'll put it into a table.)

Also, we'll need to document use cases.

We've been using etherpad, but should we get together a better (public) online presence / more organized working space?

And regarding Netanel's #1 below, my former colleagues at Miami (Steve Hersh, Elliot Williams, and I) skosified our local zine subject headings, and linked them to LCSH (and maybe the AA vocab, can't remember).  Elliot, copied, should still have access to the data (Steve and I have since moved on).

So, hi Elliot!  Want to work with Netanel on making something of that project?  (And if the answer is "nah dawg, I'm busy," maybe you could send us a copy of the MySQL table that contains said data?)

Reinvigorated!

Hi everyone. Thank you for having me. I know I'm new to the group, but I'd like to jump into the deep end with everybody else! I guess I should introduce myself first, for those who weren't at Mashcat. I'm a Metadata and Cataloging Librarian at Iowa State University. I mostly deal with metadata with regards to digital initiatives and archives/special collections.

I agree with Allison. Documentation is fantastic. Do we happen to have scope documentation for this project? E.g. What the purpose of the project is, What will be included/what won't, Goals of the project, Use cases, etc. If we do, could anybody point me to it so I can begin immersing myself into the project?  [&#X1f60a]

I'm excited about this, and am looking forward to working with everyone!

Best,
Jacob Shelby

I am in agreement with the MOAR DOCUMENTATION aspect.  I would be willing, with some help, to put together a timeline of what has been done when and post it to http://zinelibraries.info/zine-union-catalog/ .  I'd want to include stuff like the surveys that have happened re: zinelibs and zinesters' feels about contributing to a union catalog, etc.

Or maybe an FAQ?
