Abstract

ABSTRACT How we imagine records affects what we acquire and how we manage it. I take up the call from Arjun Appadurai to view archives as deliberate creations, and from Hugh Taylor to use imagination as a means of creative engagement with archival theory. I explore how we can reimagine archival work, mandates, and records by eschewing divisions of content and metadata, acknowledging items and aggregations to be interchangeable concepts, and integrating data about use into archival data management.

非元数据:重新定义档案理论与实践中的内容与元数据1

我们对记录的想象会影响我们获取的信息和管理记录的方式。我接受了阿琼·阿帕杜莱(Arjun Appadurai)的呼吁，将档案视为经过深思熟虑的创作，也接受了休·泰勒(Hugh Taylor)的呼吁，将想象力作为一种创造性地参与档案理论的手段。我探讨了我们如何通过避免内容和元数据的划分，承认项目和聚合是可互换的概念，并将有关使用的数据集成到档案数据管理中，来重新构想档案工作、授权和记录。
