Re: [stdsreg] Metadata Standard v2.0

[Bernard Vatant <bernard.vatant@mondeca.com>]

Hello folks

I have not unfortunately the bandwidth to follow up with the conference calls, but have
kept the "lurking" mode.

I am not aware that the format(s) to be adopted for the Registry have been discussed so
far (have they?)
I've still in mind - of course - that a topic map would be at least a solution to consider
(if not the killer solution)

What I can put in the process, as soon as the metadata definition are stable and approved
by the Committee, is to propose a topic map model for those metadata, which means:

-- Definition of topic types (objects and concepts described in the Registry)
-- Definition of occurrence types (metadata attached to each topic class)
-- Definition of association types (relationships between topics)

On that model, express some example(s) in XTM syntax.

I can't insist enough on the advantages of such a structure for knowledge organization and
discovery ...

Bernard
