From the post:
One a recent long flight (from Dubai back to Dallas) I spent some time working with the metadata dataset that the Digital Public Library of American’s (DPLA) provides on its site.
I was interested in finding out the following pieces of information.
- What is the average number and standard deviation of subjects-per-record in the DPLA
- How does this number compare across the partners?
- Is there any different that we can notice between Service-Hubs and Content-Hubs in the DPLA in relation to the subject field usage.
