In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, some of our staff put together a few themed limericks (or the like) for your reading and enjoyment.
There once was a group with no lists,
Their content looked, said what’s this?
So they contacted the experts
Who made them one faster than the dirts.
And now all their searches are bliss.

Ontology building is great,
But you’re going to have to wait.
Editors are busy
And they’ll have a tizzy
If you try to load more on their plate.
– Heather Kotula
Taxonomy or controlled vocabulary;
The naming is quite arbitrary.
Even an ontology
Is not really philosophy
But a structure for the words to carry.

Where is my data, you say
You need access and need it today,
Did you build a thesaurus,
provide term lists for us?
Findability, the Access way.
– Melody K. Smith
Been thinking ’bout the metadata.
How’s it gonna help my data?
If I added disambiguation
Would my content save the nation?
I’ve been adding information
To my content classification,
As the data goes around
I can change my search to found.
