Documenting Events in Metadata
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we outline the importance of event-centric documentation for structuring cultural metadata and historical context. Historical analysis can be seen as an analysis of events involving participation of people and things, meeting each other and thus creating history. Event modeling is so abstract that it can be used to describe cultural items and documentations of scientific observations. This work aims to show how event modeling provides more accurate information about life histories, relates and aggregates relevant information, and so helps to a more effective search and retrieval than currently achieved with Dublin Core and VRA.

متن کاملDigital Preservation in Data-Driven Science: On the Importance of Process Capture, Preservation and Validation
Current digital preservation is strongly biased towards data objects: digital files of document-style objects, or encapsulated and largely self-contained objects. To provide authenticity and provenance information, comprehensive metadata models are deployed to document information on an object’s context. Yet, we claim that simply documenting an objects context may not be sufficient to ensure pr...
متن کاملDescribing web services with semantic metadata
Web services are self-describing, self-contained applications that can be published, located, and invoked through common web protocols. Self-descriptions are in fact a form of metadata that provide details on the services offered. Semantic web services are, thus, an extension of such metadata-based descriptions to richer ontology-based description semantics. This paper provides an account on th...
