-------- Original Message -------- Subject: MARBI proposals of interest to the cartographic community Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 14:50:09 -0600 From: Susan Moore <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] ------------------ There is one proposal of possible interest to the cartographic community for the upcoming ALA Midwinter meeting. Proposal no. 2003-02 calls for the definition of subfield u in field 538 (System Details Note) to contain a URI that would link to a description of technical details concerning how a digital resource was created. This would save space if the details were the same for a digital collection and if the information was lengthy. I don't know if anyone involved in digitizing maps would be interested in using the 538 field in this manner.
