We examined a range of conversations that emerged, between 1746 and 2014, revealing insights about, and from African American women. We identified a metadata revision methodology that served to rescue 150 documents for or about Black women that were either not previously cataloged or cataloged in such a way that Black women's experiences are either lost or erased. This project’s use of computation is unique in that it allows for the quantitative surveying of such a large dataset while charting a qualitative assessment to determine if and how texts capture the experiences of African American women. Using a technique called ‘intermediate reading’, texts are verified for their applicability. This strategy of search, recognition, rescue and recovery (SeRRR) may aid curators of information in making Black women’s voices more accessible within the digitized record. The SeRRR strategy will allow scholars to use a form of ‘call and response’ with metadata to understand the lived (and death) experiences of Black women as Alice Walker did during her search for Zora Neal Hurston.","PeriodicalId":39057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library Metadata","volume":"3 1","pages":"141 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85319456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital library systems and software often do not support integrated authority control, which can create issues in consistency for personal and corporate names representation in descriptive metadata. Standard practice for library metadata is to use existing controlled vocabularies such as the Library of Congress Name Authority File, but what can be done if the personal names and corporate bodies in local or regional digital collections are not represented in the Library of Congress? As digital collection managers look towards providing metadata for regional and statewide shared repository systems and national digital collection aggregators like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), issues in digital collection authority control are magnified. This article explores the process in creating a shared regional authority file of personal names and corporate bodies existing in digital collection metadata records in several institutions throughout the Western United States. Steps in the process included reviewing data models, metadata collection, metadata deduplication and wrangling, vocabulary reconciliation, and data enhancement. Details on the process in making the Western Name Authority File accessible to the public and assessing project outcomes are included.","PeriodicalId":39057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library Metadata","volume":"44 1","pages":"19 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73404669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One area of library metadata that stands to benefit from linked data, name authority work, is addressed in this special issue of the Journal of Library Metadata. For a very long time, library metadata was contained in the catalog, with a specific set of rules to organize library materials, allowing for multiple points of access. Name authority files have long been central to these catalogs and to the libraries’ mission to provide efficient access to the resources that they hold by enabling researchers to easily retrieve materials by or about the same entity. In the United States, libraries have heavily relied on the Library of Congress/NACO Name Authority File (LCNAF) (http://id. loc.gov/authorities/names) to provide them with the necessary controlled access points and cross-references to fulfill that need. Given the never-ending amount of materials that libraries acquire, that is a tall order, particularly with the evolution of digitized and born digital materials and their newly adopted and developed repositories. Many cultural heritage institutions, including libraries, have long resorted to creating local authority files or to leaving names “uncontrolled” (meaning not represented in the authority file at all) for all or some of their collections in order to avoid time and expense. This left a lot of valuable locally created information siloed or inaccessible. Linked data provides the opportunity to build stronger connections between people and library resources, places, and other people. Local authority files might be enhanced by utilizing external name authority thesauri such as the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), LCNAF, ORCID, etc. Designing applications that allow users to explore name authority metadata both from within and outside the local name authority file can help to provide rich","PeriodicalId":39057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library Metadata","volume":"2 1","pages":"137 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81994202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
