I was today years old when I learned about (homosaurus.org/v4) and and Orientation Ontology (ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/gsso), 2 resources for librarians cataloging/describing books and other materials. Since I order books on these topics, these lists are very helpful!

The cutest LGBTQ+ metadata / subject headings tool- Homosaurus!
homosaurus.org/

Nobody is going to find that book if you catalog it under "sexual minorities".

Can authors get appropriate metadata to go with their book? How/where? Can people crowd source metadata for books, and would it be "valid".
I'm just a stunted (in present job) library assistant. I loved metadata in college, I miss catalogs with subject headings, and I loathe poorly labeled
/ cataloged books.

hi folks! big changes happening at the #Homosaurus that have been in the works for a year+. We're moving towards an entirely community-owned and led model to invite more people in, decentralize leadership, invite broader participation and translation. The #HomosaurusCollective is the result

I cannot express how amazing and lovely it is to see the work of @ncpwg_org #TransMetadataCollective and #Homosaurus at #QueerBibliography 🥰🥰🥰 its such a rewarding payoff for the huge amount of labor that my collegues and I put into these things

Following a small post from mid-November: hcommons.social/@julsraemy/109, here is maybe a better representation how #homosaurus could be integrated with #LinkedArt #CIDOCCRM - more information here: github.com/julsraemy/linked-ar

Linked Art Modelling of a Person using the Arts & Architecture (AAT) Thesaurus as well as the Homosaurus vocabulary. More information here: https://github.com/julsraemy/linked-art-modelling

can finally announce that the #Homosaurus was the recipient of a three year R&D grant from the NEH! We'll be working with UCLA Chicano research centre, Arizona Queer Archives, The Hormel Centre, and San Fran Public Library #critcat #critlib

Currently modelling a Person (myself) in #LinkedArt and following the example of linked.art/api/1.0/endpoint/pe but with a twist as I've included #homosaurus (my pronouns) within the classified_as property. The complete serialisation can be found here: raw.githubusercontent.com/juls #CIDOCCRM #LODLAM
