ServiceRegistries “Metadata Registries” = metadata schemas Terminology Registries /Services = Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) = encoding schemes = code sets = valid/permissible value lists Registry Types – Perspective 1 “DataRegistries” = data standards
Metadata Registries • Purpose: • to collect data related to metadata schemas • Functions: • to store data elements • include both semantics and representations • to provide the means • to identify and refer to established schemas and application profiles • to crosswalk and map among different schemas
Examples: Metadata Registries • Cross-domain and cross-schema registries, • e.g., UKOLN’s SCHEMAS Registry CORES Registry http://cores.dsd.sztaki.hu/ • JISC IE Metadata Schema Registry (IEMSR) project • Domain-specific, cross-schema registries, • e.g., UKOLN’s MEG (Metadata for Education Group) Registry • Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Metadata Online Registry (METeOR) • Project-specific registries, • e.g. The European Library (TEL) metadata registry, whose purpose is recording all metadata activities associated with TEL • Standard-specific registries • e.g., DCMI Metadata Registry

Registry Practice 1 • Go to Cores Registry: http://cores.dsd.sztaki.hu/ • Explore: • Is a full MODS element set registered? • What elements from MODS are registered? By whom? • What elements are in the British Library Application Profile? • Is there any application profile available for postcards? • Is there an element ‘measurement’ in the registry?

Registry Practice 2 • Go to DCMI Registry at: http://dcmi.kc.tsukuba.ac.jp/dcregistry/navigateServlet • Choose your “Language Preference” • View ‘properties’ and explain why there are two ‘contributors’ in the registry. • Where is “hasVersion” defined? What is the namespace URI? What property does it refine? • What ‘encoding schemes’ have been registered there? • What is “IMT”? Can you find the value for jpeg 2000?
