Towards automatic quality assessment of component metadata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measuring the quality of metadata is only possible by assessing the quality of the underlying schema and the metadata instance. We propose some factors that are measurable automatically for metadata according to the CMD framework, taking into account the variability of schemas that can be defined in this framework. The factors include among others the number of elements, the (re-)use of reusable components, the number of filled in elements. The resulting score can serve as an indicator of the overall quality of the CMD instance, used for feedback to metadata providers or to provide an overview of the overall quality of metadata within a repository. The score is independent of specific schemas and generalizable. An overall assessment of harvested metadata is provided in form of statistical summaries and the distribution, based on a corpus of harvested metadata. The score is implemented in XQuery and can be used in tools, editors and repositories.

Nowadays, the geographic metadata are defined by ISO standards and their particular goal is to assist the data exchange between different users and to provide the data quality information. However, these metadata are defined for static data processed by traditional applications. Such metadata do not take into consideration the qualification of dynamic data resulting from mobile and agile object...
