- Repositories
need to put in place mechanisms to ensure quality
metadata is attached to objects
- This might involve actions like:
- enforcing
the appropriate schema
for a given object type
- managed lookups for things
like names
- providing controlled vocabularies
(thesauri, classification schemes)
- ARROW will initially be using the
Australian Standard Research Classification (ASRC) [HREF22]
for
subject headings
- Cross-sector Opportunities:
- metadata
validation and standard metadata authority
files to enhance searching using OAI-PMH
- ability to query metadata
schemas
through maintenance agencies (for standardised schemas)
- manage
schema updates in some consistent way
- Dataset Acquisition, Accessibility and Annotation e-Research Technologies (DA3RT) project bid is proposing to do this
