This paper presents the case for a private (anonymous) personal profile of accessibility needs and preferences expressed in a Dublin Core format. It introduces the idea that this profile, identified only by a URI, is motivated by a desired relationship between a user and a resource or service. It assumes a new Dublin Core term DC:Adaptability and argues that, without any reference to disabilities, personal needs and preferences, including those symptomatic of common physical and cognitive disabilities, context or location, can be described in a common vocabulary to be matched by resource and service capabilities.

This paper discusses the use of Dublin Core application profiles at the British Library as part of a resource discovery strategy. It shows how they can be used to control the proliferation of metadata formats in digitisation activity and provide interoperability at a high level between diverse legacy systems. A technical architecture is described. This allows the use of Dublin Core based metadata to support cross-searching of multiple disparate databases.

Discover is a web resource supporting the visual arts and music curriculum in New Zealand schools. It contains 2500 multimedia items from the collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library, which holds the national cultural heritage collections, and 300 resources from other sources. The product uses a metadata scheme that combines simple (unqualified) DC and qualified DC, EAD and local extensions expressed in XML and uses the RDF framework proposed by DCMI for expressing qualified DC in RDF/XML. This metadata schema will continue to evolve to support interchange of the NLNZ's digital resources within the library, archival and education communities.

This paper proposes a visualisation of interoperability to assist real-world deployment of metadata. For some time, resource managers in many organisations have been acting on faith, creating 'standards compliant' metadata with the aim of exposing their resources to provide interoperability in discovery activities. In some cases, their faith has led them to miss the very essence of the work they are doing, and they have not got what they worked for. The authors report a case study involving government agencies in Victoria, Australia. A number of departmental agencies have implemented, more or less, the DC-based Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS) application profile, at least for their web resources. They have done this with care and precision, with the long-term aim of developing a fully interoperable system. In the case study, typical would-be records for seven government departments were studied and it was shown that the tiniest, and typical, variation in use of the standard can be expected to thwart the aims of interoperability in significant ways. In the context of the government's move to seeking interoperable metadata for all resources, including those within document management systems, the authors make visible how a small 'creep' can lead away from interoperability and how it might be contained in the future. They use a 3-step approach of 'aggregation, rationalisation and harmonisation' to expose the problems with 'nearly good enough' interoperability and the benefits of good interoperability, and encourage true harmonisation.

Multimedia technology has been applied to many types of applications and the great amount of multimedia data need to be indexed. Especially the usage of digital video data is very popular today. In particular video browsing is a necessary activity in many kinds of knowledge. For effective and interactive exploration of large digital video archives there is a need to index the videos using their visual, audio and textual data. In this paper, we focus on the visual and textual content of video for indexing. In the former approach we use the Virtual Image and in the latter one we use the Dublin Core Metadata, opportunely extended and multilayered for the video browsing and indexing. Before to concentrate our attemption on the visual content we will explain main methods to video segmentation and annotation, in order to introduce the steps for video keyfeature extraction and video description generation.

Type has come to the fore as one of the primary organizing elements in the design of input forms suitable for the generation of high quality moving image metadata. A lack of semantic precision in both the definition and in the conceptual complexity of DC.Type's encoding scheme has prompted a re-evaluation of its usefulness as an element to be populated for interchange and discovery. In order to introduce precision to this element, a distinction is made between subject-based descriptors (genres), object based descriptors (forms), and manifestations or format-based descriptors (formats). A DCT2 vocabulary is proposed for DC.Type as a point of discussion for facilitating the deployment of domain specific encoding schemes and for filling gaps in the current list of terms.

The corporate world is drowning in disparate data. Data elements, field names, column names, row names, labels, metatags, etc. seem to reproduce at whim. Librarians have been battling data disparity for over a century with tools like controlled vocabularies and classification schemes. Data Administrators have been waging their own war using data dictionaries and naming conventions. Both camps have had limited success. A common data architecture bridges the gap between the worlds of tabular (structured) and non-tabular (unstructured) data to provide a total solution and clear understanding of all data. Using the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set Version 1.1 and its Information Resource concept as building blocks, the Rohm and Haas Company Knowledge Center has created a common data architecture for use in the implementation of an electronic document management system (EDMS). This platform independent framework, when fully implemented, will provide the ability to create specific subsets of enterprise data on demand, enable interoperability with other internal or external systems, and reduce cycle time when migrating to the next generation tool.
企业界正淹没在不同的数据中。数据元素、字段名、列名、行名、标签、元标签等似乎可以随意复制。一个多世纪以来，图书馆员一直在用受控词汇表和分类方案等工具与数据差异作斗争。数据管理员一直在使用数据字典和命名约定进行他们自己的战争。两个阵营都取得了有限的成功。一个通用的数据体系结构弥合了表格(结构化)和非表格(非结构化)数据之间的鸿沟，从而提供了一个完整的解决方案和对所有数据的清晰理解。Rohm and Haas公司知识中心使用都柏林核心元数据元素集1.1版及其信息资源概念作为构建块，创建了一个用于实现电子文档管理系统(EDMS)的通用数据体系结构。这个平台独立的框架在完全实现后，将提供按需创建特定的企业数据子集的能力，支持与其他内部或外部系统的互操作性，并减少迁移到下一代工具时的周期时间。

Archon is a federation of physics collections with varying degrees of metadata richness. Archon uses the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAIPMH) to harvest metadata from distributed archives. The architecture of Archon is largely based on another OAIPMH digital library: Arc, a cross archive search service. However, Archon provides some new services that are specifically tailored for the physics community. Of these services we will discuss approaches we used to search and browse equations and formulae and a citation linking service for arXiv and American Physical Society (APS) archives.

As its name implies, a native XML repository supports storage and management of XML in the original hierarchical form rather than in some other representations. In this paper we present our approach for integrating native XML repositories into Edutella, a RDF-based E-learning P2P network, through mapping native XML database schemas onto the Edutella Common Data Model (ECDM) and further translating ECDM's internal query language Datalog into XPath, the local query language of native XML repositories. Due to the considerable incomparability between the ECDM and the XML data model, a generic integration approach for schema-agnostic native XML repositories is found to be unrealistic. Thus our investigations are focused on three schema-specific native XML repositories respectively based on the DCMES, LOM/IMS, and SCORM XML binding data schema. Since these three metadata sets are the most popularly applied learning resource metadata specifications in E-Learning, our integration approach satisfactorily addresses the current usage of Edutella in E-Learning despite that a generic integration approach for schema-agnostic native XML repositories has not been implemented.
