E Mail

An e‐mail survey was conducted by the Dublin Core Libraries Working Group to collect examples of Dublin Core use in libraries, and to provide input for the development of a Dublin Core application profile for libraries. A total of 29 responses were received from nine countries, describing 33 separate implementations of Dublin Core. The most commonly cited reasons for selecting Dublin Core were its international acceptance, flexibility and likelihood of future interoperability. Each of the 15 core elements was in use by between 59 percent and 97 percent of the projects in the survey. There was a high incidence (73 percent) of projects that use metadata elements in addition to the DC elements and approved qualifiers. The two most widely reported challenges involved in implementing Dublin Core were that there are too few elements and qualifiers, and the lack of usage guidelines.

Collection Level

An extension of the Dublin Core Collections Application Profile (DCCAP) suitable for representing context-dependent collection level metadata, is presented in this paper. The extended model, called Multidimensional DCCAP, is based on a multidimensional extension of RDF. Contexts are specified by assigning values to a set of appropriately chosen parameters called dimensions. The proposed extension allows the user to encode metadata for each defined context enriching substantially in this way the expressive power of the metadata model. Multidimensional DCCAP metadata model allows to represent the collection development evolution as well as to keep information created for various users categories, with various degrees of detail, or even in different languages.

Design Options

Successful research object sharing requires that systems and users understand the structure, semantics and rules that govern a given research object collection. A number of metadata standards define ontologies and vocabularies for consistent expression of research object semantics. Supporting, clarifying and sometimes extending these standards are metadata application profiles (MAPs). MAPs play a key role defining metadata element cardinality and data types. MAPs may also mandate or recommend controlled vocabularies, where metadata standards have not already mentioned these in formal range declarations, encoding schemes and semantics that are to be consumed by external systems. MAPs also guide design options for in-house systems and workflows. In this paper, development of a draft MAP for grey-literature policy and research collections is discussed. A focus of the discussion is the considerations around selection and adoption of metadata standards given the research data and literature communities in the APO stakeholder map. This paper presents a work-in-progress version of a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) candidate. The Analysis & Policy Observatory Metadata Application Profile (APO-MAP) takes research object class structure as a starting point and considers class model options, especially given the availability of registry services and Persistent Indenter (PID) systems. The discussion finds that MAP development progresses towards a best fit that balances the need to adopt widely supported standards, local business drivers, and community acceptance.

Metadata Editor

O processo de desenvolvimento de software muitas vezes encontra obstáculos para reutilizar padrões de análise devido ao difícil acesso a estes artefatos computacionais. A falta de uma ferramenta que facilite o processo de documentação dos padrões de análise e de um repositório digital para armazená-los contribui negativamente na recuperação e reuso dos mesmos. Este trabalho apresenta a ferramenta DC2AP Metadata Editor. Esta ferramenta é um editor de metadados para padrões de análise baseada no modelo Dublin Core Application Profile for Analysis Patterns (DC2AP). Para organizar o processo de documentação dos padrões de análise e facilitar sua recuperação, o DC2AP Metadata Editor provê padrões de análise documentados como Linked Data, permitindo assim que o conhecimento armazenado nesses artefatos sejam compartilhados e automaticamente interpretados por software.

Over Time

Purpose Provenance information is crucial for consistent maintenance of metadata schemas over time. The purpose of this paper is to propose a provenance model named DSP-PROV to keep track of structural changes of metadata schemas. Design/methodology/approach The DSP-PROV model is developed through applying the general provenance description standard PROV of the World Wide Web Consortium to the Dublin Core Application Profile. Metadata Application Profile of Digital Public Library of America is selected as a case study to apply the DSP-PROV model. Finally, this paper evaluates the proposed model by comparison between formal provenance description in DSP-PROV and semi-formal change log description in English. Findings Formal provenance description in the DSP-PROV model has advantages over semi-formal provenance description in English to keep metadata schemas consistent over time. Research limitations/implications The DSP-PROV model is applicable to keep track of the structural changes of metadata schema over time. Provenance description of other features of metadata schema such as vocabulary and encoding syntax are not covered. Originality/value This study proposes a simple model for provenance description of structural features of metadata schemas based on a few standards widely accepted on the Web and shows the advantage of the proposed model to conventional semi-formal provenance description.
