7.3 Trends
- METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard)
URL:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/
The METS schema is a standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language.
- Resource Description Framework (RDF)
Model and Syntax Specification, W3C.
URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/PR-rdf-syntax/
RDF is a foundation for processing metadata; it provides
interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable
information on the Web. RDF emphasizes facilities to enable automated processing
of Web resources. RDF can be used in a variety of application areas.
The broad goal of RDF is to define a mechanism for describing resources
that makes no assumptions about a particular application domain, nor defines
(a priori) the semantics of any application domain. The definition of the
mechanism should be domain neutral, yet the mechanism should be suitable
for describing information about any domain.
- Semantic Web Activity, W3C.
(This site contains previous "Metadata
activity statement" contents.)
URL: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/
The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows
data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community
boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from
a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the
Resource Description Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications
using XML for syntax and URIs for naming.
