目的 本文的目的是介绍元数据建模的基础结构方法和记录保存元数据的通用元模型。该元模型试图支持不同系统之间的互操作性，特别是表面上不相称的记录文档集之间的互操作性。 设计/方法/方法 调查采用了反思性设计科学调查，包括访谈、适应性文献审查、概念模型的创建以及概念验证系统的设计和实例化。 发现 调查证实，不同本体之间的记录保持互操作性可以通过元模型方法实现。特别是，元模型仔细地定义了具有特定语义的实体之间的关系，以支持可互操作的域模式的开发。 实际含义 记录保存元数据的元模型有助于开发具有设计互操作性的记录保存系统。 社会影响 因此，符合元模型的记录保存系统可以超越直接的交易背景，并支持参与式记录保存，涉及多个利益攸关方世界观和记录机构。 原创性/价值 这篇论文是为数不多的记录保存信息学设计科学方法之一，也是一篇使用元模型方法设计记录保存元数据的报告。与大多数经验确定的元数据模式不同，自上而下的设计方法从各种各样的本体论来源生成了一个模式。
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce an infrastructural approach to metadata modelling and a generalised meta-model for recordkeeping metadata. This meta-model is an attempt to support interoperability between disparate systems, and particularly, between sets of ostensibly incommensurate record documentation. Design/methodology/approach The investigation used a reflective design-science investigation comprising interviews adaptive literature review, creation of conceptual models and the design and instantiation of a proof-of-concept system. Findings The investigation confirms that recordkeeping interoperability between disparate ontologies is achievable through a meta-model approach. In particular, the meta-model carefully defines relationships between entities with specific semantics that enable the development of interoperable domain schemas. Practical implications A meta-model for recordkeeping metadata facilitates the development of recordkeeping systems that possess interoperability-by-design. Social implications Recordkeeping systems that conform to the meta-model can, therefore, transcend the immediate transactional context and support participatory recordkeeping in terms of a plurality of stakeholder world views and agency in records. Originality/value This paper is one of the few reporting design-science approaches to recordkeeping informatics and one that has used a meta-model approach for recordkeeping metadata design. In contrast to most empirically determined metadata schemas, the top-down design approach has produced a schema from a wide variety of ontological sources.
