Metadata Watch Report #2

[ contents | section 2 | section 3 ]

Section 1 - Introduction

This deliverable is the 2nd Metadata Watch Report. The first one has been submitted in July and gave many useful details on metadata initiatives in various market segments.

As already specified the purpose of the SCHEMAS Metadata Watch (MD Watch) is to provide a quarterly overview of world-wide progress in the metadata field, which includes work on metadata sets, schemas, frameworks, registries, and the tools needed to create and use all of these things.

This second Metadata Watch Report completes the First Metadata Watch Report and therefore is less detailed. Actually, there are fewer things to report since the last few months.

The present deliverable is therefore a review report. Some correspondents have brought some additions to their own market segment, other did not bring any new addition. Therefore, only five domains have been explored here:

  • The audio-visual sector

  • The educational sector

  • The academic sector

  • The geographical information sector

  • The publishing sector
