      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Collection metadata

Module by: Joseph Grimes

Summary: An overview of the kinds of information linguists need about Wordcorr collections.

Identifying a Wordcorr collection is a lot like identifying a book in a library. Some of the information, as might be expected, is more aligned with electronic libraries than with traditional book publishing.

Here are the different kinds of metadata (data about your data) that Wordcorr asks you for on the Collection panel:

  • Names of the collection
  • Creator and collaborators
  • Glossing languages
  • Description, key words, remarks
  • Published sources
  • Geographic coverage
  • Permanence
