XML.com started a new column on 2.18.04 entitled, "Hacking the Library." Its author, Kendall Grant Clark, claims "I want to share some of the library science tricks I've picked up in my own efforts to manage my dijalog lifestyle"
Future features to include such topics as:
How to implement the Library of Congress at home;
How to use weblogs as a way to catalogue and categorize personal information;
How to use big-time metadata standards and techniques, like Dublin Core and faceted metadata, to manage dijalog artifacts;
Anyone interested in archiving digital objects, and looking to get practice around the home should be on the lookout for new editions of "Hacking the Library" - perhaps this is an indication of XML becoming more popular, and easier to use and helpful to everyday life, also, it coincides nicely with NYTimes Circuits Navigating Digital Home Networks piece from 2.19.04
