Project Greylink: Proposal for a Project within the Greynet Community
Via an e-mail:
At the GL8 Conference the idea came up that current metadata standards fordescribing, managing, discovering, restricting access to grey literature are inadequate.
What’s the problem?
Put simply, the current use of DC (Dublin Core) or even MARC means that the metadata is machine readable but not machine-understandable. The end-result is that the input, update and retrieval processes are human-intensive. With increasing availability of repositories of grey literature this will not scale.
