Internship Description<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this internship we will focus on remediation of the metadata for different digital collections in Hamilton library. By following the best practices in description of digital objects, we will establish the schema to follow for the re-description tasks and work with exports of collections in OpenRefine and Omeka S software, and use AI to help us with these tasks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Library\/Collection Description<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hamilton Library hosts multiple digital collections in two different repositories.
DSpace hosts SholarSpace- institutional repository collections, and EVols \u2013 various collections including digitized textual material. Omeka Classic is hosting digitized image collections. The metadata for these collection is based on Dublin Core schema, but was ingested with no clear guidelines nor quality control which resulted in overly heterogeneous representation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
