Metadata Genres Core Element Discussion 8 July 2009

Present:

  • Patsy
  • Tom
  • Rob

Notetaker: Rob

What are Metadata Genres:

...

  • File management
  • Content Management or Collection Management
  • Domain Modeling 

Structural Metadata Requirements

  • Identification of the Atomic Unit(AU) of a domain.  The atomic unit is a standalone entity.  The structural metadata may need to indicate the standalone status of any entity it describes.
  • Reference to the metadata for an AU
  • Reference to all files that comprise AU

...

  • Define Atomic Unit (Smallest Describable Unit)
  • smallest needs to no know largest
  • largest needs to know about all the smallest
  • In between relationships not core

...

  • Look up types of peer, hierarchical, and network relationships that we might encounter

CORE structural Elements

Type element: aggregation, atom (smallest deliverbale unit) agent (person or organization)

Policy: each atom must belong to an aggregation, the outermost aggregation; relationship may be nul in the case where the atom is free-standing.

  • RSS/ATOM

2. rights metadata standards:

  • Dublin Core
  • SWAP
  • METS Rights
  • PREMIS Rights

  • PREMIS - Ann Marie

4. provenance matadata standards:

  • PREMIS (event)
  • ABC HArmony

Techincal and provenance are seperate metadata, but policies are not in place for migration. It is difficult to decide what we need to capture about provenance events.

Look at provenance metadata schema-- PREMIS has a provenance "event" entity.

Copyright metadata

2 kinds of rights

1. DRM (or access managemnt) -- ODRL, MPEG -- these are policy metadata schemas. Spell out who can perform what.

2. descriptive meatdaat schemes

PREMIS rights

METS rights

LoC rights MD -- See LoC A/V prototype project: http://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/avprot/metsmenu2.html

http://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/avprot/DD_RMD.html

They all provide for:

-- rights holder

-- rights basis (based on contract, license, a coipyright statement, or stutute like fair use, public domain.

--content (a URI/CC license; or text of the rights)

-- context -- who, when and sometimes where (which means in DSPace for us, so less important). Human-readable, not coputer-actionable. Must be inclusive of the needed oinformation. (i.e. a notes field)
