CMDI interoperability Utrecht 2013-06-04 www.clarin.eu Metadata quality • How to achieve high quality metadata? • Metadata schemes tailored to the data • Component-based Metadata • Explicit semantics • Concept registries (ISOcat) • Resolvable resource proxies • PIDs to • Metadata (self link) • Resources • e.g,, needed by Web Service workflows (profile matching) • Landing page (optional) • Search (optional) • Controlled vocabularies • Vocabulary services (CLAVAS) • e.g., spelling variants for organization names • Also to be used by CMDI editors • Who are responsible for metadata quality? • CLARIN center together with their depositors • Part of CLARIN center requirements
CMDI interoperability Utrecht 2013-06-04 www.clarin.eu Metadata curation • When is curation needed? • Advances in (metadata) infrastructure development • CMDI 1.0 -> 1.1 • CMDI 1.1 -> 1.2 (backwards compatibility?) • Revisions of code sets and vocabularies • Might require interaction with the depositor • E.g., a language code might be split in two or mode codes, which new code to apply? • CLARIN EU metadata curation ticket queue • ‘Metadata police’ filter • Who are responsible for metadata curation? • Each CLARIN center for the metadata it provides • Keep metadata up to date with technical requirements by the infrastructure • Interact with other centers in the metadata taskforce to steer developments • If needed and possible interaction with the depositor might be required to improve metadata quality
