Dear Serialst readers,

For all those attending the Charleston Library Conference in a couple of
days you may be interested in a groundbreaking session about the new
standards in bibliographic metadata being developed for publishing datasets.

More and more datasets are published to support research.  They can be
regarded as part of the research output and as valuable as the published
journal article. Currently there are no rules about how to publish, present,
cite or catalogue datasets and tables.  Toby Green, Head of Publishing at
OECD will examine the need for standards and the remedies that OECD is
implementing to enable users to find and cite data and enable librarians to
accurately catalogue and deliver datasets to their patrons.

OECD is working on building metadata standards for publishing data that will
enable citation linking and incorporate MARC records and ONIX file formats
so that data can be managed, accessed and cited in the same way as other
publishing outputs.

When and Where:
