Metadata Watch Report #3

[ contents | section 2 | section 3 | section 4 | section 5 | section 6 ]

Section 1 - Introduction

This deliverable is the third Metadata Watch Report from the SCHEMAS project. As specified in the project objectives, 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 third report concentrates on the issue of the development and use of Application Profiles in the various domains covered by the SCHEMAS Metadata Watch.

Contributions are included from the SCHEMAS partners PricewaterhouseCoopers, UKOLN and GMD, as well as from a number of correspondents in the following domains:

  • Industry
  • Publishing sector
  • Audio-visual sector
  • Cultural heritage sector
  • Educational sector
  • Academic sector
  • Geographical information sector

There is also a small section on developments in the Government sector, a sector that is emerging in our work as an important addition to the metadata landscape.
