[Dspace-general] Controlled Vocabulary by Library

Tue May 11 13:38:36 EDT 2004

MIT has suggested offering premium (for a fee) services in the future,
one of which would entail library staff creating metadata or perhaps
just controlled vocabulary for the communities.  Has anyone implemented
these premium services?  And of more interest, has anyone offered this
service to communities free of charge?

Thank you

Question about entering keywords in to DSpace:

This question may be premature for many on the list if you are running a

pilot program as we are about to here at the Unversity of DE.  Standards

for entering keywords:  is anyone using a standard (e.g., thesaurus, 
LCSH, etc.) as a source for chosing keywords to enter in to DSpace?  
When keywords are not available, is anyone taking keywords from the 
abstract or, taking the time consuming approach and contacting the 
author to supply them?
