Beyond INSPIRE: An Ontology for Biodiversity Metadata Records

Improving the documentation and findability of data services and repositories: A review of (meta)data management approaches

“…In general, the topic of metadata is strongly accented in geosciences. The description of an application accompanied by metadata is the most common one (Di et al, 2009;Ho et al, 2011;Maue et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013;Da Silva et al, 2014;Kalantari et al, 2014;Hu et al, 2015;Lafia et al, 2016;Palma et al, 2016;Reznik et al, 2016;McGee et al, 2017;Neumaier et al, 2018). Such papers mostly deal with an explicitly defined scope, like the integration of open linked metadata into cloud platforms, sensor webs, geovisual analytics, Volunteer Geographic Information, e-government, libraries for geo-resources, cartographic models, and Web services.…”

“…This situation seems to be a result of the rigidness of the geo community. With the exception of a pioneers, we can see a lack of best practice (Hu et al, 2015;Di et al, 2009;Ho et al, 2011;Narock and Fox, 2012;Kalantari et al, 2014;Wilson et al, 2014;Lafia et al, 2016;McGee et al, 2017;Da Silva et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2013;Maue et al, 2012;Neumaier et al, 2018). The geo community, having reached a peak with respect to the use of non-semantic metadata approaches (i.e.…”

Reducing Consumer Uncertainty: Towards an Ontology for Geospatial User-Centric Metadata

“…This is in contrast to our proposed GUCM model, which aims to capture and represent producer-supplied and user-described metadata using a single model. BIOME is a lightweight ontology designed for the management of datasets in the biodiversity domain [30]. Domain-specific metadata captured by the ontology conform to the INSPIRE directive [31].…”

“…DCAT-AP complies with and is based on the W3C Data Catalog (DCAT (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/)) vocabulary. GeoDCAT-AP also offers a syntax binding in RDF (https://www.w3.org/RDF/) for the union of metadata dimensions of the core profile of ISO 19115:2003 and metadata elements defined in the framework of the INSPIRE Directive [30]. Figures 4-6 depict metadata for describing datasets in accordance with the GeoDCAT-AP version 1.0.1 specification.…”

Archival metadata for digital cultural heritage conceptual provenance, contextual forensics, and the authority of the found digital object

“…Work on comparative analysis of metadata practices includes the analysis of standard schemes [4], [5], but also goes beyond that to analyze work practices and the discourse that surrounds those metadata work practices [6]. What we learn from this kind of scholarship is directly related to the challenges and opportunities presented by digital cultural heritage.…”
