Plenary II: Modular management of
complexity |
| |
II.A Application
Profiles |
Rachel Heery |
30 MIN |
| |
An explanation of recent developments in
mixing and managing multiple metadata schemas,
and how these techniques can be used to support
modular deployment of metadata packages,
enabling applications to adopt specific
components of DC metadata, add local
extensions, and combine them with other
metadata schemas. The talk will address syntax
issues, description of structured entities
within application profiles, and suggest means
to accomodate domain-specific metadata.

II.B Structured
Metadata for Richer Description |
Eric Miller and Dan
Brickley |
30 MIN |
| |
The issue of how best to accomodate
metadata with substructure (metadata values
which themselves have metadata attributes) has
been the subject of longstanding controversy in
the DC community. The description of agents,
and how they relate to information resources is
a prime example of this problem, but there are
others as well. This session is intended to
expose some of the problems and opportunities
facing the DC community in this important area.
These include accomodating the diversity of
functional requirements, and balancing the
tension between local pragmatics and broad
interoperability.
