2. @TAC_NISO Twitter Highlights
• So excited about this panel on reducing chaos at #CSE2012 today
• Very funny & convenient @TAC_NISO pre-tweeted presentation. Slides to come! #CSE2012
• #NISO = 1/3 Publishers, 1/3 Libraries, 1/3 automation vendors - where communities converge to
develop standards #CSE2012
• ISO standards community is complex - lots of players. Weird numbering scheme. #NISO manages
identifiers subcommittee #CSE2012
• Key Elements of Identification: Referent (thing that is ID’d), the identifier (string identifying referent) &
metadata (describes the attributes of the thing) #CSE2012
• Are 2 copies of @The_Economist the same thing? Yet they have the same #ISSN More to IDs than
just the classification. #functionalgranularity #standards #CSE2012

14. The Metadata
The data
that
describes
the referent
15. An ID & its metadata
• Identifiers can be but are not necessarily
names (often better if they aren’t)
• IDs can be but need not be human-
readable. They also may or may not be
human understandable.
• Metadata describe attributes of the
referent
• Not every attribute need be described
27. Large Scale Data-Driven Science
Increasingly, scientific
breakthroughs will be
powered by advanced
computing capabilities that
help researchers
manipulate and explore
massive datasets.
