Administrative Components Metadata DCMI Usage Board Meeting Seoul, 16 October 2009
A-Core 1999 RFC - Renato Iannella & Debbie Campbell metadata about metadata: simple verification of the integrity, ownership, and authorship of metadata retrieved from networked resources 8 properties in 4 categories: who, what, when - 5 properties validity dates - 1 property metadata location - 1 property rights ownership - 1 property
A-Core name contact activity date dateRange location rights
Administrative Components Final version 2003, Jytte Hansen & Leif Andresen Updated January 2006 with an additional property (source) a practical tool for users of metadata to manage metadata with special focus on interoperability between different systems...for administration of metadata 23 properties in 3 categories: Metadata for the entire record Metadata for update and change Metadata for batch interchange of records
Properties About the metadata identifier source scope comment location language rights dateRange handling About change & update activity action name contact date affiliation
Properties 2 About transmission and interchange database transmitter fileName technicalFormat characterSet bibliographicFormat resultFile These are about transmission of the metadata records
Proposal Recommend a simplified Admin Components set Drop all the properties about transmission usefulness? METS Remove some unnecessary properties: source scope handling An application profile would be a necessary step, e.g. are the properties with the same name/label as those in DC terms used with the same semantics?
