| Metadata Design | |
The Class Wiki's structure has been set up to allow for easy expandability as topics grow as well as approachability for students to edit and add to the wiki.
Three main templates were created: Student Project, Metadata Alphabet, and Class Topics.
The main class page was organized into topics which can be filled out each with their own pages and then linked into the Metadata Network.
The Metadata Network Table was templated to allow ease of replicability across pages within the Class Wiki.
A set of instructions for the Wiki was created to assist other students in adding their work to the class information.
Purpose/Goal
The purpose of this project is to set in place a structure within UBC's Wiki for all related topics and projects for the Metadata class. The structure should be editable and expandable as learning within the class grows throughout the various sessions and iterations of the class. It should be approachable for students to edit, at least with their own projects to fill out the network, and become an excellent resource for this class and beyond.
Lessons Learned
When you want to make a complicated aspect of the Wiki work, test it early to ensure the capability is already present - and if it's not, you have plenty of time to work with the UBC Wiki folks to put it into action.
When designing a framework that will contain everything you can think of now related to a certain topic or concept (and also to try and encompass future developments, or at least make tweaking it relatively straightforward), you will go through so much paper designing and redesigning how things will be related to each other. In the case of applying a hierarchical structure, you're going to spend many evenings debating the arbitrary divides between types of things as well as what metadata will apply to all of a type of thing that you want to capture. And then, of course, how you're going to represent that so that others can understand and expand upon what's been done.
I wish I'd taken longer near the beginning of the project to familiarize myself with the guidelines and possibilities of the Wiki.
Relations to the Course
Everything I learned about metadata design, especially the entity relationship diagrams of mapping out all of the possible elements and their relationships to each other were really critical to this project. As well, the various documentation we used for the labs helped inform how I created the documentation/instructions for the Wiki.
