Boeing Metadata Standard • In place since 1997 • Specifies Seven Mandatory Tags • 5 from Dublin Core • 2 Boeing-Specific • Other DC elements are optional • Additional Boeing elements are optional
Tools to Support MetadataDocument Property Update • A suite of Boeing-developed software programs that enable a person or application to manage (create, update, and delete) and retrieve (read) the document properties and document meta-data embedded within a variety structured document formats • DPU Features • Centralized/Localized Property Catalog • Rules-based metadata/property update • Proxy (stub) file support for unsupported document formats • Supports the use of xml templates to promote reuse.
General Issues • Only about 5% of web pages contain metadata • Time/effort required to add metadata • Lack of skill in applying metadata • Promotion of “Content Culture” • Happening slowly • Need to feel the pain before being willing to invest in processes and tools. • Need to see visible ROI on investment
Technology issues • Integration of standards-based metadata support into authoring and editing tools • Integration of vocabularies with tagging tools • Simple drop-down lists to complex thesauri • Tools and processes for managing multiple metadata element sets and vocabularies.
