Brief overview of the ‘Goobi Metadata, Mappings and Rulesets’ course
The ‘Goobi Metadata, Mappings and Rulesets’ course will mainly be of interest to qualified librarians and Goobi users whose main work involves extracting and compiling important information from digitised works. As well as a detailed examination of everyday tasks using the Goobi Metadata Editor and the options available to fine-tune your work, this course focuses on rulesets. Using a text editor (or the Goobi Ruleset Editor), participants will learn about the configuration options available to meet specific metadata requirements and how to use them – from ruleset configuration, catalogue mapping and MODS mapping through to metadata presentation in the Goobi Viewer, our own presentation system for digitised works.
Topics
The selected course topics are based on our experience of working with Goobi for over ten years as well as the feedback we have received from more than forty establishments where the program is in everyday use for a wide variety of projects. Nevertheless, the list of topics can always be adapted to meet individual requirements, and we can even incorporate your own materials and working methods.
