Integrating Knowledge Organization Systems Registries with Metadata Registries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metadata Registries (MDR) are information systems defined to manage and publish metadata related to information and data models. An inherent part of the data models registered within an MDR is the vocabularies used to assign values to data elements. These vocabularies relate to concepts that can be managed by Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS). This paper discusses how an MDR can import and take advantage of the information managed within a KOS. hugo.manguinhas, jlb}@ist.utl.pt

Integrating Metadata Schema Registries with Digital Preservation Systems to Support Interoperability: a Proposal
There are a large number of metadata standards and initiatives that have relevance to digital preservation, e.g. those designed to support the work of national and research libraries, archives and digitization initiatives. This paper introduces some of these, noting that the developers of some have acknowledged the importance of maintaining or re-using existing metadata. It is argued here that ...
متن کاملAchieving interoperability for metadata registries using comparative object modeling
Achieving data interoperability between organizations relies upon agreed meaning and representation (metadata) of data. For managing and registering metadata, many organizations have built metadata registries (MDRs) in various domains based on international standard for MDR framework, ISO/IEC 11179. Following this trend, two pubic MDRs in biomedical domain have been created, United States Healt...
متن کاملStandardization of Questions in Rare Disease Registries: The PRISM Library Project
BACKGROUND Patient registries are often a helpful first step in estimating the impact and understanding the etiology of rare diseases - both requisites for the development of new diagnostics and therapeutics. The value and utility of patient registries rely on the use of both well-constructed structured research questions and relevant answer sets accompanying them. There are currently no clear ...
متن کاملFederation of Metadata Registries
Federating metadata registries introduces a range of problems to address, from identifying the commonality in data models across registries, to agreeing on a well-defined data dictionary. As more and more registries participate in the federation, the number of problems to solve can potentially rise to unmanageable levels. While solutions to these issues are researched, generic federation system...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Lexical Metadata Categories
Metadata registries comprising sets of categories to be used in data collections exist in many fields. The purpose of a metadata registry is to facilitate data exchange and interoperability within a domain, and registries often contain definitions and examples. In this paper we will argue that in order to ensure completeness, consistency, user-friendliness and extensibility, metadata registries...
