Qualified Dublin Core using RDF for Sci-Tech Journal Articles
No full textAs a participant in the D-Lib Test Suite project, the University of Illinois maintains a full-text XML testbed containing over 65,000 scientific and technical journal articles. For this project, we have developed techniques to generate and utilize Qualified Dublin Core (DCQ) metadata using RDF. In this short paper we will provide a brief overview of our digital collection, demonstrate DCQ metadata creation and usage for items in our collection, and finally summarize some of the issues that arose as a consequence of our decision to use DCQ

No full textCenter for Spatial Information Science (CSIS) has developed and run our own Clearinghouse for various academic researchers to share spatial data since 1999. This paper presents activities of the academic Clearinghouse and the backgrounds of it
The San Fernando Valley History Digital Project: a Collaborative Digital Project Between Local Historical Societies and a University Library
No full textThe University Library at California State University, Northridge and thirty-one local historical societies, members of the San Fernando Valley Heritage Network, collaborated to create a digital history of the Valley, providing access to materials otherwise difficult to access. This case study illustrates how a modest grant and a spirit of cooperation can produce a Web site that supports the educational goals of their community
Invited Paper: Geographic data clearinghouse activity in GSI
No full textPreparation of geographic metadata and development of geographic data clearinghouses take a very important role to promote dissemination of Geographic data. We would like to introduce GSI’s activity to develop the clearinghouse, according with ISO23950 and Japan Metadata Profile ( JMP ) for the first time in Japan. ISO23950 is an international standard concerned with information search and retrieval protocol. Using this protocol, users can query simultaneously with respect to plural physically distributed clearinghouse nodes
Interoperable Summary Description Model Using Dublin Core
Get PDFThis paper proposes an interoperable metadata model generating summary description for multimedia content using Dublin Core (DC). The motive is based on the fundamental concepts such as (1) Description information about the multimedia content is essential in multimedia content access, search and retrieval process (2) the existing metadata are too complicated to use in applications such as e-cataloguing and browsing of e-commerce. As an approach to solve the problem, summary description that may be optimally minimal descriptive elements set derived from existing metadata schemes (full descriptions) is described in this paper. The proposed summary description generator model is achieved using thesaurus approach built on the basis of DC and any existing various metadata schemes
