I made an @OceanicEx infographic to show what we were working with, in terms of numbers, when we made the Atlas of Digitised Newspapers and Metadata. Yes, we really did make a spreadsheet of over 3000 metadata fields (and you can download it from DOI:10.6084/m9.figshare.11560110)

And the feuilleton was a new newspaper term for me! So now we’ve got an example, if you’re not sure what it means: digitisednewspapers.net/glos…. I can also recommend this great article about ‘foolitons’: jstor.org/stable/23646681
If you don’t know your folio from your masthead, we’ve now added examples for many of our glossary entries in the Atlas of Digitised Newspapers and Metadata: digitisednewspapers.net/glos…

Really pleased to contribute to this wonderful work by @mhbeals and @EmilyJLB and team @OceanicEx! An open access guide to openly licensed digitised newspapers around the world, so you don't have to figure out all the metadata schemas yourself when wanting to reuse them.

Digitization results in digital objects often accessed in isolation, out of context. Awesome work @OceanicEx makes visible "relationships btw a database’s internal components, btw data & metadata among collections and btw the digital object & its physical predecessors." #access
