  • Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications
    etadata is a key aspect of our evolving infrastructure for information management, social computing, and scientific collaboration. DC-2008M will focus on metadata challenges, solutions, and innovation in initiatives and activities underlying semantic and social applications. Metadata is part of the fabric of social computing, which includes the use of wikis, blogs, and tagging for collaboration and participation. Metadata also underlies the development of semantic applications, and the Semantic Web — the representation and integration of multimedia knowledge structures on the basis of semantic models. These two trends flow together in applications such as Wikipedia, where authors collectively create structured information that can be extracted and used to enhance access to and use of information sources. Recent discussion has focused on how existing bibliographic standards can be expressed as Semantic Metadata for Web vocabularies to facilitate the ingration of library and cultural heritage data with other types of data. Harnessing the efforts of content providers and end-users to link, tag, edit, and describe their Semantic and information in interoperable ways (”participatory metadata”) is a key step towards providing knowledge environments that are scalable, self-correcting, and evolvable. Social Applications DC-2008 will explore conceptual and practical issues in the development and deployment of semantic and social applications to meet the needs of specific communities of practice.

  • A Metadata Registry for Metadata Interoperability
    Data Science Journal, Volume 6, Supplement, 8 July 2007 A METADATA REGISTRY FOR METADATA INTEROPERABILITY Jian-hui Li *, Jia-xin Gao, Ji-nong Dong, Wei Wu, and Yan-fei Hou Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In order to use distributed and heterogeneous scientific databases effectively, semantic heterogeneities have to be detected and resolved. To solve this problem, we propose architecture for managing metadata and metadata schema using a metadata registry. A metadata registry is a place to keep facts about characteristics of data that are necessary for data sharing and exchange in a specific domain. This paper will explore the role of metadata registries and describe some of the experiences of implementing the registry. Keywords: Metadata, Metadata Registry, Interoperability, Crosswalk, Application Profile 1 INTRODUCTION Users and applications can easily find, locate, access, and use distributed and heterogeneous scientific databases with the help of metadata. Metadata are especially important for open access to and sharing of scientific data and databases. Different domains, however, will develop or follow different metadata specifications; even the same domain develops different metadata application profiles based on the same specifications according to their special requirements. Consequently, interoperability of metadata is a major issue for scientific data sharing and exchanging. Metadata Registry is a key solution to solve this problem. The DESIRE (Heery, Gardner, Day, & Patel, 2000), SCHEMAS (UKOLN, SCHEMAS, 2003), and CORES (UKOLN, CORES, 2003) projects are successful examples. Based on the requirements of the scientific databases of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Basic Scientific Data Sharing Network, one project of the National Scientific Data Sharing Program, we have designed and developed a metadata registry – the Scientific Database Metadata Registry (SDBMR).

  • Joint Adb – Unescap Sdmx Capacity Building Initiative Sdmx Starter Kit for National Statistical Agencies
    JOINT ADB – UNESCAP SDMX CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVE SDMX STARTER KIT FOR NATIONAL STATISTICAL AGENCIES Version: 5 October 2014 1 FOREWORD The aim of the Starter Kit is to provide a resource for national statistical agencies in countries in the Asia and Pacific region contemplating the implementation of the Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) technical standards and content-oriented guidelines for the exchange of aggregate data and their related methodological information (metadata). It outlines a structured process for the implementation of SDMX by agencies that have little knowledge about SDMX and how they would go about the implementation of the standards and guidelines. In order to avoid duplicating the work of the SDMX sponsoring agencies the Kit makes extensive use of links to existing SDMX background documents and artifacts that have been developed at the global level. The Starter Kit was developed under the auspices of the joint 2014 Asian Development Bank– United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific SDMX initiative to improve the efficiency of data and metadata exchange between national statistical agencies in the Asia and Pacific region and international organizations through the ongoing use of SDMX standards. The aim of the joint initiative is to build the capacity of countries in the region to apply SDMX standards through mapping national concepts to specific identified SDMX Data Structure Definitions (DSDs) and Metadata Structure Definitions (MSDs). The initiative also aims at enabling national agencies to determine which, of a range of available tools for SDMX implementation, best meets the needs of the organisation. The basic premise of the Kit is that SDMX implementation must be seen in the context of a wide range of corporate institutional, infrastructure and statistical initiatives currently underway in almost all statistical agencies around the globe to improve the quality and relevance of the service they provide to government and non-government users of their outputs.

  • 1 1. Opening Page Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen My Name Is
    1. Opening page Good morning ladies and gentlemen My name is stephen machin I currently work As a data management consultant in mons in belgium Thank you very much for allowing me to speak to you today And thanks for coming along to listen I hope that you will find the presentation informative The purpose of this presentation Is to resolve the ambiguous term metadata Into its constituent concepts Having separated out the concepts We then provide Unambiguous and "systematic" definitions for each And then we give an exact description of the nature of the relationships between them with an equation which emphasises the separation of the concepts but also shows how they are tightly bound together 1 2. Metadata Metadata is a confused and ambiguous concept. several authors have remarked upon this One even goes so far as to say that the word No longer has any meaning Iso 11179 A much quoted metadata standard Says that the word has evolved and no longer has its old traditional meaning and that it now also refers to many other things but the standard explicitly limits it scope to the traditional sense of the word and this means that these things are not described 2 3. 11179: metadata = DE = container If we take a close look at The specifications for iso 11179 "The Metadata registry“ we note that for at least 7 years between 1994 and 2001 In its original formulation It referred to itself as the "data element" registry And the standard describes a data element as being a "container for data" and so ISO 11179 describes a metadata registry a data element registry a data container registry 3 4.

It also provides a description of a training course on the Basics of SDMX, scheduled for GCC-Stat. 1 SDMX in short SDMX provides support for things that are important to statisticians and are often difficult for them to achieve, and it enables tools to be developed to provide support for these things. It does this by providing standard, well-designed formats for holding all of the elements involved in the statistical process and linking them all together in a clear model. The result is an approach that maximises the amount of metadata and statistical context information that can be passed through to statistical clients, maximises the possibility of relating statistics from similar or different sources, and allows for the automation of processes that are often difficult and costly to manage otherwise.

  • SDMX Roadmap 2021-2025
    SDMX Roadmap 2021-2025 Executive Summary The Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) is a standard developed to facilitate the exchange of data and metadata in the international statistical community. It is widely used by international organizations, national statistical offices, and other data producing agencies. The development of SDMX is guided by a roadmap that sets forth the objectives for a span of five years. The SDMX Roadmap 2021-2025 (“the Roadmap”) provides a strategic plan for the continuous development of SDMX over the next five years. The Roadmap has two main drivers: addressing a broadening set of needs and improving the usability of the standard. These two drivers come together under the umbrella of the SDMX 3.0 project. The new roadmap continues to group the objectives into four pillars: (i) Implementation, (ii) Simplification, (iii) Modernisation and (iv) Communication. The Roadmap aims to strengthen the implementation of SDMX. SDMX will be expanded to new statistical domains. Existing SDMX packages will be upgraded based on updates of international classification standards. The adoption of established global code-lists and data structure definitions (DSDs) will be encouraged. Finally, SDMX tools will be finalized to facilitate the exchange of referential metadata. Simplification will be required to facilitate the use of SDMX. Main directions of work will be to simplify referential metadata exchange mechanisms, explore links between SDMX and other standards, and develop tools that simplify the complexities of SDMX for novice users. SDMX will be leveraged to modernise statistical processes and IT infrastructure. The development of SDMX 3.0 will incorporate modern features of data management.

  • 2 Data Development Overview
    2 Data development overview This chapter provides an overview of data development and introduces the key components, such as data, information, data elements, metadata, data standards and their relationships. The importance of data standards to data development is explained and the relationship between terminology and data standards is discussed. 2.1 What is data? Data are representations of real world facts, concepts or instructions in a formalised manner suitable for communication, interpretation or processing by human beings or automatic means (Standards Australia 2005). Data relates to events, people, transactions and facts. For example, some of the data collected when a person buys products at a supermarket include: • cash register identifier (id) (for example, 123) • cashier identifier (id) (for example Z456) • item description (for example, apple juice, jam, bread, coffee, milk) • item identifier (id) (for example, X123) • item unit price (for example, $1.20) • quantity (for example, 2) • total cost (for example, $10.30) • date of service (for example, 26.10.2005) • time of service (for example, 14:30) • payment method (for example, cash, credit card, cheque). 2.2 What is information? Information is data that are interpreted, organised and structured in such a way as to be meaningful to the person who receives it (Standards Australia 2005). At the point of service delivery, data about items purchased by a customer in a supermarket are converted into information and provided to the customer in the form of a receipt. The same data would also be useful to the supermarket manager. For example, information in the form of a report showing total sales in the day and the best-selling products would help with inventory control.
