Hi to all,
Taking advantage of Karen's posts I would like to draw the attention to
you to a study that I have done together with colleague of mine: "A
panoramic view of the Application Profiles of the last decade". This
paper describes the panorama of the metadata application profiles (AP):
(i) what AP have been developed so far; (ii) what type of institutions
have developed these AP; (iii) what are the application domains of these
AP; (iv) what are the metadata schemes (MS) used by these AP; (v) what
application domains have been producing MS; (vi) what are the syntax
encoding schemes (SES) and the vocabulary encoding schemes (VES) used by
these AP; and finally (vii) if these AP have followed the Singapore
Framework (SF). We found (i) 74 AP; (ii) the AP are mostly developed by
the scientific community, (iii) The learning objects domain is the most
intensive producer; (iv) Dublin Core metadata vocabularies are the most
used and are being used in all domains of application and IEEE LOM is
the second most used but only inside the learning objects application
domain; (v) the most intensive producer of MS is the domain of libraries
and repositories; (vi) 13 distinct SES and 89 distinct VES were used;
(vi) five of the 74 AP found follow the SF.
The paper will be published soon (I hope! - it is announced as
forthcoming) in the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics &
Ontologies
http://www.inderscience.com/info/ingeneral/forthcoming.php?jcode=ijmso
We are continuing this work and will try to study the use of every term
- eventually we will understand what are the core terms of the community
that does AP.
If anyone of you are interested in the paper I can send it to you as
soon as I have the edited version. Just send me an email asking for it!
Best regards. Mariana Malta
