Using Metadata Schema Registry as a Core Function to Enhance Usability and Reusability of Metadata Schemas

چکیده
Metadata schema registries have great potential to enhance usability and reusability of metadata schemas. Application profiles are a key concept for Dublin Core, and have a crucial role in promoting reuse of metadata schemas. This paper discusses basic concepts and models of metadata schemas, in order to clarify functional requirements for extending registry functions to enhance usability and reusability of metadata schemas. It also describes two experimental tools developed to help users find, browse and build metadata schemas.

A metadata schema which defines constraints about metadata records is a fundamental resource for metadata interoperability. Building interoperable metadata schemas has been a main topic of the Dublin Core since its early days. It is important to make use of existing metadata schemas to develop a new schema in order to minimize newly defined metadata vocabularies, which is how DCMI has developed...
