The Carnival of the Infosciences no. 25 is being hosted this week by
Mark Lindner at …the thoughts are broken…. The Carnival was almost broken this week, as Mark got only one submission, and that from yours truly. And today is his birthday!

But Mark makes lemonade with a nice collection of links he had to collect himself, poor thing. He’s looking for commentary and discussion, so drop by and share your thoughts on the shortcomings of library systems, whether images can be metadata (I’m going to say sure, but at this point I bet they would cause more problems than they might solve (can’t really search them, present their own set of preservation problems, etc.). They might need meta-metadata!), and more.

Next week’s Carnival is at Data Obsessed.

p.s. Nice choice of images, Mark.
