Plenary II: Modular management of complexity |
| |
II.A Application Profiles |
Rachel Heery |
30 MIN |
| |
An explanation of recent developments in mixing and managing multiple metadata
schemas, and how these techniques can be used to support modular deployment of
metadata packages, enabling applications to adopt specific components of DC metadata,
add local extensions, and combine them with other metadata schemas. The talk will
address syntax issues, description of structured entities within application profiles,
and suggest means to accomodate domain-specific metadata.

II.B Structured Metadata for Richer Description |
Eric Miller and Dan Brickley |
30 MIN |
| |
The issue of how best to accomodate metadata with substructure (metadata
values which themselves have metadata attributes) has been the subject of longstanding
controversy in the DC community. The description of agents, and how they relate
to information resources is a prime example of this problem, but there are others
as well. This session is intended to expose some of the problems and opportunities
facing the DC community in this important area. These include accomodating the
diversity of functional requirements, and balancing the tension between local
pragmatics and broad interoperability.
