Son of Dublin Core (SoDC) -- Encoding and Validating and Harvesting
Graph-based (Meta)data

Scholarly Works Application Profile

Julie Allinson, Pete
Johnston and Andy Powell
describe a Dublin Core application profile for describing scholarly works that
makes use of FRBR and the DCMI Abstract Model.

Welcome to the Joint DCMI/IEEE LTSC Taskforce Wiki. This is a Web-based collaborative area for the group, providing a shared space where documents can be created collaboratively.

his decision tree can be used to see if something is a DCMI-compliant element, element refinement or encoding scheme, where "DCMI-compliant" means conformant with the DCMI Abstract Model and therefore suitable for use in DC metadata descriptions.

Web information retrieval designs cycle naturally between periods of
expanding functionality and contracting complexity. This talk presents a
contraction-phase design that tries to retain the best features of modern
retrieval designs while being very easy to implement. Leveraging existing
search systems, it calls for an extra external interface but otherwise
requires no internal system changes.


The new interface is specified by THUMP -- The HTTP URL Mapping Protocol
-- a very lightweight protocol that can be used for focused, known-item
retrievals and broad search engine queries. To keep implementation
barriers low, the interface can be thoroughly tested with ubiquitous tools
such as web browsers and the telnet remote login software. The talk will
address implementation experiences in a scientific computing context.


THUMP returns information in the form of an Electronic Resource Citation
(ERC), a simple, compact, and printable record designed to hold data
associated with information objects. By design, the ERC is a metadata
format that balances the needs for expressive power, very simple machine
processing, and direct human manipulation. The ERC uses a "kernel" subset
of four required metadata elements defined by a working group of the
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.

the entities within the IESR are collections, services and agents. Each of these has associated administrative metadata. The metadata is defined by the IESR Application Profile, along with its associated controlled lists.

This page is part of the JISC Digital Repository Wiki. It is being used to support the activities of a UK (JISC) working group that is developing a Dublin Core Application Profile for describing scholarly publications (eprints) held in institutional repositories.
