A key aim for the three DASISH task 3.2 tools is that they should be able to communicate with each other. To facilitate interoperability between the three tools work towards a common metadata understanding has been carried out. This work is further described in the document ‘DASISH 3.2 Towards a common metadata understanding for the three DASISH WP3.2 tools 2015_01_05.pdf’. A summary, including the requirements for a common metadata model for the three tools as well as the main agreements made between the DASISH task 3.2 partners is found below.
The requirements for a common metadata model for the three DASISH task 3.2 tools are defined as follows:
- Which metadata elements will be used in the transfer between the three tools?
- The direction for the flow of metadata elements between the three tools, as well as the steps in the work process at which metadata components are exchanged.
- Mapping between the metadata elements and DDI.
- A common identification and versioning system.
- How the exchange of DDI metadata takes place, which type of DDI instances or fragments that will be transported, and which type of web-service will be used.
- Administrative ownership of metadata
This project contains documents related to a common metadata understanding for the three DASISH WP3.2 tools. It also contains DDI XML instances as well as controlled vocabularies and DDI element hierarchies.
