Metadata Design for Chinese Medicine Digital Library using XML

چکیده
Chinese medicine development has been growing rapidly and it begins to draw significant attention globally. In Hong Kong, particularly, the government has targeted Chinese medicine as one of its major future developments. A system for registering Chinese medicine practitioners is being set up and a Chinese medicine port for medicine manufacturing and research is being investigated. Although it has drawn significant attention, information about Chinese medicine is not yet widely available on the Internet and searching for Chinese medicine information is extremely difficult. In this paper, we are presenting the XML metadata design for Chinese medicine. The system encompasses the register server, information servers, search engine, and client programs developed to browse and search XML documents available at distributed Chinese medicine digital libraries.
