A Flexible Classification Scheme for Metadata Resources

We introduce a flexible mechanism to classify metadata resources using their elements and attributes. The metadata resources are represented in XML and we assume that they have been created based on some resource schemas. The concept of a classification schema is proposed to construct a taxonomy with metadata resources classified into different categories using classification rules. To define t...

Often I use previously created material, if only I can find it. One current challenge of distributed learning is creating and managing content to facilitate reuse. Instructors as well as stud...

A Proposed Standard for Numerical Metadata∗

We propose a standard for generating and storing metadata describing numerical problems, in particular properties of matrices and linear systems. The standard comprises a storage and a generation component. The storage consists of an XML file format and an internal data format with various access routines; the generation standard describes a format for software that produces metadata. We give t...

A Novel Metadata Standard for Multimedia Preservation

This paper introduces the motivation and describes the model of a novel metadata standard for the exchange of preservation metadata of multimedia content. The model is being standardised as the MPEG Multimedia Preservation Application Format (MPAF), addressing the specific issues related to the preservation description information of audiovisual contents. Several standards for expressing metada...
