Agreement Date:
May 14, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
Tagging Inuit Knowledge seeks to facilitate Inuit knowledge sharing about a vast collection of digitized media owned by Pitquhirnikkut Ilihautiniq / Kitikmeot Heritage Society (PI/KHS) through its digital content portal called the Inuit Knowledge Bank. The Knowledge Bank is a custom developed content management and mobilization platform designed to facilitate Inuit access to, and engagement with, their digital heritage. This project will develop and implement digital tagging functionality that will allow Inuit users to contribute metadata to existing document records to assist with their identification, search-ability, prioritization, and licensing.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
We will rely strongly on feedback from UX testers to determine the success of tagging functionality, and whether it should be extended to the Knowledge Bank as a whole.
We will keep close quantitative and qualitative records of UX tester feedback through feedback surveys, in person interviews, and the use of Knowledge Bank analytics to quantify the number of tags created, the number of tags applied, and the number of documents impacted by tags. A qualitative review of the type of metadata being attached through tags will be documented and results included in the final report.
