Most of the articles that turn up in a search for papers on user studies and metadata deal with search interface design, but I was hoping to find something that tried to evaluate the design of the metadata scheme itself. This fairly old study invited geography and library professionals to evaluate searches based on three different metadata schemes--FGDC, GILS, and MARC--as well as keyword searches on Internet search engines. They found that the users' reactions were determined primarily by presentational aspects of the search interfaces. So perhaps presentation is always going to be the user's first concern, even when researchers are trying to evaluate metadata schemes.
Zhang, Jin and Iris Jastram. “A study of metadata element co-occurrence,” Online Information Review. 2006, 30:4, 428-453.
This article attempts to research the different elements web authors utilize in organizing web pages and search engines. They examined “the number of elements they prefer to use, and the types of element combinations they typically embed in their pages' HTML code”. The researchers discovered that the web authors used “keyword” and “description” elements the most. This study of looking at metadata usage behavior will hopefully help search engine designers. While I believe this could be an applicable essay to what we're learning, it does not so much discuss library science. I doubt that we will be able to post this article on our wiki/blog because I was only able to access it on campus a database called Emerald.

Dye, J. (2006). Folksonomy: A game of high-tech (and high-stakes) tag. EContent, 29(3), 38-43.
This article discusses users and the concept of narrow (individual-centered) and broad (social classification driven) folksonomies. For the user, tagging breaks from the convention (or “tyranny” as mentioned in the article) of traditional taxonomies which are organized as top-down systems with pre-meditated hierarchies. Mentioned in the article is the concern that when users lose interest in a community and stop tagging, entire communities will lose their richness. The purchase of tagging sites by companies such as Yahoo! also raises concern that the ‘social’ will be taken out of “social categorization” when corporate hierarchal structure is imposed, causing tagging to lose its grassroots appeal.
Beall, Jeffrey. “The Death of Metadata.” The Serials Librarian, Vol. 51 (2) 2006 pp.55-74
In “The Death of Metadata,” Beall discusses the failures of current metadata schemes and applications (particularly Dublin Core) from the user perspective. He also explains why, in his opinion, full-text searching is impractical and argues for implementing a “single, proven, comprehensive metadata standard” based on MARC. According to Beall, the article’s title is a misnomer: rather than being a diatribe against metadata announcing its impending demise as the title suggests, the article focuses on enumerating reasons why metadata must be restructured and approaches to reinvigorating it through establishing a strict set of standards and implementing MODS, the Metadata Object Description Schema.
IBM Researcher Aims to Improve Web Access for Visually Impaired. Todd R Weiss. Computerworld. Framingham: Apr 2, 2007. Vol.41, Iss. 14; pg. 19, 1 pg
This short article is available in Proquest through Madcat. It centers around accessability on the internet for visually impared users and other people with disability. The accessability researchers at IBM are developing a tool (they plan to open source this) that "adapts metadata dynamically" do immediatley generate accessible pages for users. They are currently in the usability testing phase of development. The tool is Java based, and acts as a stand-alone player with the same features as a regular internet explorer.
Another article I found was Toward Releasing the Metadata Bottleneck: A Baseline Evaluation of Contributor-supplied Metadata. Amanda J Wilson. Library Resources & Technical Services. Chicago: Jan 2007. Vol.51, Iss. 1; pg. 16, 13 pg
This is a study that evaluates metadata contributions by users and subject experts in specific fields. Overall, the study found that the semantic quality of user submitted metadata was good, but structural errors were abundant.

Jeffrey Beall. Library Hi Tech News. Bradford: Sep/Oct 2004. Vol.21, Iss. 8; pg. 40, 2 pgs (you can find this on the E-Journal list through the UW Libraries homepage).
Beall claims that Dublin Core is about to become obsolete due to its being designed by managers rather than users/practitioners. It was also created with profit in mind, and is not relevant now that Google has appeared as a resource searching tool. MODS will soon replace it.

Schatz, S (2005). Unique metadata schemas: a model for user-centric design of a performance support schema. Educational technology research and development [ETR&D], 53 (4), 69-84.
Schatz, Assistant Professor of Educational Technology at the University of Hartford, reports on the 2005 state of his continuing research into performance support systems, that is, interactive systems for achieving limited, immediate learning goals. Schatz conducted a survey of K-12 teachers from rural schools, consisting of on-site visits and follow-up telephone interviews, initially to determine what new web services might be called for by the teachers’ instructional needs. Schatz’s project was limited by the unwillingness of his client to add services, to the development of user-centric, user-generated tags that improve teachers’ retrieval of lesson plans, models, and other instructional resources. Schatz arrived at a set of 5 unique functional tags (parallel to the information one would find on a bibliographic record), to which he added two evaluative tags. He incorporated these into a tagging tool and a search tool where the tag set is defined by user check-off. From his success in surveying users to generate a small, functional and expandable set of search tags, Schatz projects an exciting, user-driven expansion of tagging schema to a variety of organizations. In 2006, Schatz published a follow-up to this research, “Improving performance support systems through information retrieval evaluation,” Journal of interactive learning research, 17 (4).

This short article gives a nice introduction to something we, as college students, are probably all familiar with: creating metadata for audio files, specifically MP3s. The author, Rick Broida, uses an application called MediaMonkey to illustrate tag usage to better identify one’s collection of MP3s. His article also includes several screen shots of MediaMonkey.

I actually just found this article when I was trying to retrieve my last article to print it. I have to say that, taking the number of pages into consideration, I would really recommend that people look at this one instead of the "Death of Metadata" since it makes the same point a bit more concisely. This article examines the way in which metadata might not actually address the information retrieval needs of the user, and suggests alternative approaches that might be more effective to this end.
Three selected articles and a summary of literature reviewed by the class:
Fraser, B. and Gluck, M. (1999). Usability of Geospatial Metadata or Space-Time Matters. Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science, 25(6). http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Aug-99/fraser_gluck.html

Schatz, S. (2005). Unique metadata schemas: a model for user-centric design of a performance support schema. Educational technology research and development [ETR&D], 53(4), 69-84.
These articles stand out because they are based on continuing research programs of the authors and the research done frames the rhetoric about user demands and user-generated categorization found in about half the articles we looked at in class. The key word in Fraser/Gluck is "ease of use." Golder and Huberman show that tagging choices and behavior follow measurable patterns and illustrate the bounds of the tagging public's rationality. Schatz is an advocate for a particular approach to designing search tools for a community of practitioners, yet one senses that he has discovered something of real, potential benefit.
Summarizing this chunk of literature as a whole, and drawing from our class discussion, I have an example and a question. The question is, "can you eat with confidence in a restaurant if you haven't looked inside the kitchen?" The example is what a union activist friend of mine told me about how his members got a little more militant after they saw how their salary range compared with similar workers at other, similar academic work sites in the state of Illinois.
My point is that the user/creators of social tags, or the users of other tools that give them input to or perceived ownership of the resource, will be happy with these tools until something about the tool becomes a problem. Then the politics of the tool will change and the users will ask more questions.
The function of metadata and of bibliographic control is to prepare for that day.

In this article, the authors analyze the structure of collaborative tagging systems and the systems’ dynamical aspects. As indicated in the article, through the use of Delicious, the authors were able discover regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given URL.
