OpenWEMI

OpenWEMI Logo

OpenWEMI is a minimally constrained RDF vocabulary defining classes for Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item (WEMI) and properties for the relationships between them. It is based on concepts that were originally developed out of library cataloging practice. Unlike the library usage of these terms, OpenWEMI is not defined by any particular community type and can be used as a scaffolding for metadata describing any type of resource.
