Background

What makes a good use case?

...

We need to be careful to not put in effort in areas where other projects are already working.

Works: Curation

Virtual Collections (3,11,35)

...

Build a virtual collection

Build Lists that make metadata reusable

Tag items in cross-silo ways

Finding selected or highlighted works

Bib + Person 

Highlight faculty's work

Identify who an author influenced 

External Authorities

Find unexpected resources through OPAC searches

Pivot on works to explore more contexts

Acquire related works

Work based discovery

Form fill for IR deposit

Topic intersection of related authors

Deeper Graph Interactions

Find associated works better than Amazon

Identify related works

Increase the sophistication of query and display

Usage

Research guided by community usage

from items across institutions, regardless of their original collection and metadata.

Metadata Assignment (24)

Assign information about an item in a Linked Data way, such as subject/tag.  A potential implementation strategy for designating virtual collections.

Works: Discovery

Discovery of Related Items (12,19,21,22,23,25,29,38,42)

Using the graph of relationships between items, improve:

• discovery algorithms
• discovery interfaces

Based on information about the Items:

• geo/temporal provenance and topic
• authorship
• other metadata

Persons

Highlight specific people (6)

Given a set of people, highlight them when they are referenced from Items (eg faculty authors)

Display relationships between people (9)

Given a set of people and their relationships to each other, display the relationships in relevant contexts

Display intersection of metadata about people (42)

Given a set of people and their relationships to other objects, use the metadata from those objects to generate sets of people and display those sets in relevant contexts 

Usage

Improve Discovery based on Usage (1,16)

Given usage information about a set of objects, improve discovery and ranking of those objects in appropriate interfaces.Guided in collection building by usage
