Development Method of Integrated Information Access Support System based on Multiple Metadata Schemas

在这项研究中，研究者开发了软件工具来支持基于XML和RDF技术的信息资源的发现和描述。以下段落总结了本研究的结果。(1)我们开发了软件工具，用于开发基于RDF的多语言元数据注册表，以及与都柏林核心元数据倡议合作的都柏林核心元数据元素集的实验性元数据注册表。元数据注册中心对元数据应用程序的开发人员起着至关重要的作用。为了促进元数据模式的可用性和增强全球社区中的元数据互操作性，多语言是注册中心的一个重要方面。(2)根据信息对象的结构建立了元数据编辑模型，并在此基础上开发了元数据编辑工具。(3)开发了一个基于RDF的元数据编辑器生成器。元数据编辑器生成器旨在根据元数据模式和应用程序配置文件轻松创建元数据编辑器。(4)我们实验性地发展了一个元数据模式，用以描述和发现互联网上对公共图书馆及其用户有用的信息资源。该模式是基于IMS和Dublin Core设计的，并且可以用多种语言描述元数据记录。

In this study, the investigators have developed software tools for supporting discovery and description of information resources based on XML and RDF technologies. The following paragraphs summarize the results of this research.(1)We have developed software tools for developing multilingual metadata registries based on RDF and an experimental metadata registry for the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set collaborating with the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Metadata registries have crucial role for developers of metadata applications. Multilinguality is an important aspect for the registries in order to promote usability of metadata schemas and to enhance metadata interoperability in the global community.(2)We have developed a model for editing metadata in accordance with the structure of information objects and a metadata editing tool based on the model.(3)We have developed a metadata editor generator based on RDF.The metadata editor generator is designed to easily create metadata editors in accordance with metadata schemas and application profiles.(4)We have experimentally developed a metadata schema for description and discovery of the information resources on the Internet which are useful for public libraries and their users. The schema is designed based both on IMS and Dublin Core and also designed for describing a metadata record in multiple languages.
