An Attempt to Visualize the Data Creation Process
So below you will find a flow chart created to attempt to visualize the data creation process for the Perseus Catalog, but unfortunately as I couldn't figure out how to embed the flowchart (graphml defeated me) as anything other than an image, none of the links to open up examples within the wiki from the flowchart are working.
Nonetheless, having created a flowchart, I feel the need to share it:
Update: Thanks to help from the lovely chief software developer of Perseus and Perseids, the flowchart now has a new home as an HTML document with working links, that can be found here
A Suggested Satirical Reading Order:
Home for an overview of the repositories
Basic Steps--overview of what to do
Searching the Catalog Is this edition already cataloged?
Finding MODS Records Let's go get some MODS Records!
Saving and Naming MODS Records--Where does my MODS record go?
Enhancing MODS Records What do I put in my MODS record?
Analytical Cataloging So what exactly is this FRBR you speak of?
Sample MODS Records
- One author-one work This isn't so bad
- One author-more than one work Still not so bad...
- One author-one work-Several volumes modsCollection file anyone?
- Lots of authors-lots of works Someone call a cataloger!
Finding and Downloading Authority Records What do you mean my author isn't in LCNAF?
Creating and Enhancing Authority Records Templates, schemplates...
CTS URNs and Work Identifiers My kingdom for a preexisting canonical work identifier!
Sample MAD Records So that's what an authority record looks like!
