A Testbed for Collection-Item Metadata Relationships
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of a testbed for formalized categories of collection-item metadata relationships. Because these categories are characterized using logic-based formal languages and are most naturally analyzed by exploring inferences and logical relationships, the testbed is based on contemporary semantic web architecture. We describe the design and development of the testbed, discussing some challenges that we overcame in the process of translating OAI-PMH XML records into DCAM-compliant descriptions sets that could be represented in RDF.

Rule Categories for Collection/Item Metadata Relationships
Collections of artifacts, images, texts, and other cultural objects are not arbitrary aggregations, but are designed to support specific research and scholarly activities. Collection-level metadata directly supports this objective, providing critical contextual information. However, exploiting this information, especially in a semantic web environment of linked data, requires a precise formaliz...
متن کاملCollection/Item Metadata Relationships
Contemporary retrieval systems, which search across collections, usually ignore collection-level metadata. Alternative approaches, exploiting collection-level information, will require an understanding of the various kinds of relationships that can obtain between collection-level and item-level metadata. This paper outlines the problem and describes a project that is developing a logic-based fr...
متن کاملQualified Dublin Core using RDF for Sci-Tech Journal Articles
As a participant in the D-Lib Test Suite project, the University of Illinois maintains a full-text XML testbed containing over 65,000 scientific and technical journal articles. For this project, we have developed techniques to generate and utilize Qualified Dublin Core (DCQ) metadata using RDF. In this short paper we will provide a brief overview of our digital collection, demonstrate DCQ metad...
متن کاملDelviz: exploration of tagged information visualizations
Classification methods such as social tagging provide an easy way to annotate documents with metadata and describe them from various points of view. Frequently used visualization methods like tag clouds offer a limited access to the network of tags and fail at illustrating implicit relationships. Developing user interfaces which reveal these relationships and support the exploration of the resu...
متن کاملOntology-based Descriptions of Image Collections
Thesaurus have been widely used to provide structured vocabularies to describe books, however, they only provide part of the required knowledge for semantic web contexts. This paper proposes the use of ontologies and standard metadata to model semantic descriptions of image collections that refers to book covers. Ontologies represent keyword-based organizations. The classes and the hierarchical...
