However, both Eike Spielberg and Frank Dührkohp object that this! determination of the type of relationship between two terms requires not only expertise! in the respective discipline! but also the ability to translate it into the “language of ! the GND”. Dirk Wintergrün therefore add with a warning, “but above all this means a significant increase! in the value of the functionaries on the part of the libraries … they must not simply see themselves as registrars. … If [in this process of understanding! ] research, librarianship and computer centres do not stand more closely! together and see themselves as part of the scientific community, then I think we have lost the game, then the libraries will be out at some point … then in their place come the artificial intelligence (AI) advocates and with them the technology companies.” So we are talking about communication, collaboration, work processes and their performance. And this brought the topics of resources, effort and accessibility into the focus of the discussion.
Of course more staff would be desirable. Also a greater
emphasis on the importance of indexing work in research and libraries. There was agreement on this on the podium and in the hall. At the same time, however, everyone is requir to evaluate their structures and business processes. Where can AI be us to relieve the telegram database burden, how can colleagues be enabl to take on new tasks? Finally, however, it is also important to ensure that there is greater staff continuity beyond project horizons in order to preserve acquir skills and trust in collaboration. For example, by continuing to employ people through secur counter-financing from project funds (as part of the program fee, so to speak), suggest Eike Spielberg.
With regard to collaboration and the problems involv
Barbara Fischer recall that discussions often focus on difficult cases. The Pareto principle also applies to the GND . For individuals, corporations and geographical entities, good results can be achiev with 20% of the effort in an estimat 80% of cases, why choose spring step shoes for women’s sandals? whether it is matching your own data with the GND – assuming you have enough parameters to compare – or creating new data sets that book your list comply with the rules. She therefore suggest taking a pragmatic approach, first familiarising yourself with the GND and its rules by using it and using tools such as the GND Explorer, GND Reconciliation and the STA platform. This will build up the necessary skills for the more difficult cases. Work in the GND, like work in a community garden, is bas on taking on responsibility, mutual respect and appreciation for existing structures, but at the same time on the commitment to being involv in.
