Muddiest Point 12

If a digital library has its security compromised, and data is stolen that is under copyright protection, can the library/organization that maintains the digital collection be legally liable?

I'm not sure I understand the Deep Web. Does that mean that it hasn't been indexed by a web crawler? How can a given website owner know if his site is in the deep or visible web?

Muddiest Point

This is not about the lecture, but I do need clarification on the final project, so here's the place.

I know we are supposed to have variation among the 3 digital collections. Could we do 2 collections of digital photographs of objects that are unrelated to each other and then a 3rd collection of scanned material? Would that be varied enough?

Muddiest Point 4

In XML, it seems like there are multiple ways of structuring things to get the same result. Are these rules hard and fast, or fairly soft?

Muddiest Point 3

Is it possible for metadata to be stored with the object, and separately from the object? Would that redundancy be a problem?

(I forgot to put the puppy in the reading notes post. So here she is. Sleeping again.)

Muddiest Point week 3

Who assigns a DOI? Is it the creator of the digital object, or an outside organization?

Muddiest Point 1

This is a muddiest point about muddiest points. Do we have to post a muddiest point about the lecture, or can it also be the readings? We didn't have a lecture this week, so obviously this muddiest point is not about the lecture. Speaking of, are the readings for this week supposed to go with next week's lecture? Did I post my response to the readings too early? Does it not really matter?
