Index of Links

We are currently investigating the use of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a means of registering schemas. Meanwhile, below is a list of relevant projects categorised using the same domains as used in the Metadata Watch.

Where appropriate, the links "MDWR1", "MDWR2" and "MDWR3" refer to information on the relevant domain available in Metadata Watch Reports 1, 2 and 3.

The registry divides into the following domains:
Industry Publishing Audio-Visual Cultural Heritage Academic Education & Training Research GIS Other

If you would like to have your project or schema registered in this listing please contact us.
