Enhancing Opaquenamespace.org: Refinement of Local Name Authority Files and Workflows

摘要

This article discusses Opaquenamspace.org, the controlled vocabulary manager that assists with the local, regional, and national linked open data authority work for Oregon Digital, the shared digital collections repository of Oregon State University Libraries and Press and University of Oregon Libraries. This article will share information about the creation and development of the system, the workflows and processes for uniform resource identifiers creation, management, and dissemination, as well as address mistakes that were made as early adopters for other institutions to consider before creating and managing their own local name authority files.
