Briefing paper: Metadata Schema Registries
نویسنده
چکیده
Metadata itself is often called 'data about data', information that typically describes what a document is, what it is about, and where one may locate it (Zeng & Jin, 2008). There are various metadata standards, such as Dublin Core and IEEE LOM. Each standard contains an element set or scheme that defines the structure and semantics of elements, such as the DC Metadata Element Set, now referred to as Simple DC, that defines 15 core elements that can be used to describe distributed information resources.

Find and Combine Vocabularies to Design Metadata Application Profiles using Schema Registries and LOD Resources
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...
متن کاملA Metadata schema framework for functional extension of metadata schema registry
The DCMI metadata schema registry has been developed as an authoritative source of DCMI metadata terms. The DCMI registry has an important role to enhance semantic interoperability of the metadata terms. From our experiences in the development of the DCMI registry, we have learned that the registry has large potential to serve as a center of various service functions related to metadata schemas...
متن کاملExtracting Description Set Profiles from RDF Datasets using Metadata Instances and SPARQL Queries
A variety of communities create and publish metadata as Linked Open Data (LOD). Users of those datasets find and use them for their own purposes and may combine the datasets to add value. Each LOD dataset uses various vocabularies, structures and constraints for describing resources. In order to improve the usability of LOD datasets, it is very important for metadata designers to enhance the in...
متن کاملUsing Metadata Schema Registry as a Core Function to Enhance Usability and Reusability of Metadata Schemas
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 r...
