尽管元数据计划在过去十年中的发展和实施是广泛的，但审查这些活动总和的研究是有限的。这一限制很可能是由于主题的范围太广。需要一个框架来研究元数据方案的全部范围和所支持的功能。分析了为信息资源开发的元数据方案。首先，作者回顾了元数据的定义、元数据功能和几种元数据类型。接下来，给出了元数据方案的概念。重点放在类似语义容器的元数据方案(数据结构)上。本文的最后部分介绍了MODEL(元数据目标和原则、域和体系结构布局)框架，作为研究元数据方案的一种方法。文章最后简要讨论了检查元数据方案的框架的价值，包括不同类型的元数据方案。[文章副本可从Haworth Document Delivery Service收费获得：1-800-Haworth。电子邮件地址：The Haworth Press，Inc.网站：(C)2005。保留所有权利。]
Although the development and implementation of metadata schemes over the last decade has been extensive, research examining the sum of these activities is limited. This limitation is likely due to the massive scope of the topic. A framework is needed to study the full extent of, and functionalities supported by, metadata schemes. Metadata schemes developed for information resources are analyzed. To begin, the author presents a review of the definition of metadata, metadata functions, and several metadata typologies. Next, a conceptualization for metadata schemes is presented. The emphasis is on semantic container-like metadata schemes (data structures). The last part of this paper introduces the MODAL (Metadata Objectives and principles, Domains, and Architectural Layout) framework as an approach for studying metadata schemes. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the value of frameworks for examining metadata schemes, including different types of metadata schemes.
