How to pronounce “duplicative” in English

Then, there is the ICM, or Investigative Case Management, search application.Certainly not duplicative. No responsive records come up under the main file and far from trivial.

And there are lots of ways if those who are holding information in a fairly proprietary fashion would in fact share it more broadly,we would reduce a lot of duplicative effort.So yes, I think if OCLC were in essence to create all of it's information on an open access basis, we will be better off.

And secondly, if you think about what a library needs to have, it needs to have this huge store metadata.Libraries spend a huge amount of time and money creating often duplicative versions of metadata.And often they also worry about the intellectual property claims of this, that maybe there are copyright interests in the metadata.

I would submit that there actually aren't good copyright claims for most forms of metadata.And in fact, if libraries were much more collaborative in terms of sharing their metadata, there would be many, many fewer forms of duplicative effort.And ultimately, part of this digital library system is a huge store of metadata.
