17、2015ISO 24622-1:2015(E)IntroductionComponent Metadata (CMD) is an approach to metadata modelling and metadata creation. It is being increasingly used these days to enable the metadata description of different types of Language Resources (LRs) with different metadata schemas, while still trying to ma

18、intain syntactic and semantic interoperability.CMD1)is also the core of the Component Metadata Infrastructure (CMDI)1: this infrastructure contains not only the format specifications for this metadata modelling and creation approach, but also a set of registries and tools for metadata modelling and

19、creation work.The advantages of having such a unified approach to metadata descriptions for LRs, an approach that will be usable by many projects and initiatives, are obvious: firstly, there is a better chance of obtaining interoperability between metadata descriptions from different sources, and se

20、condly, it will be possible to develop and share tools that work much more efficiently in this metadata framework.The challenge of designing and organizing a comprehensive and unified approach to metadata description for the very varied set of LR types, and one that also can satisfy a sufficiently l

21、arge section of the LR community, should not be underestimated. The landscape of metadata for LRs has been, and continues to be, fragmented. Until recently, it was the practice in creating the metadata descriptions for LRs to choose a specific metadata schema from a (small) existing set derived eith

22、er from widespread traditions or from other disciplines; for example, OLAC2is an adapted version of DCMI,3which in turn originates in the library world. Additionally, there are, for the purposes of LR metadata description, specifically developed metadata schemas that can be limited in application to

23、 specific types of LR (e.g. IMDI4), or they can be of a proprietary nature (cf. the catalogues of the LR agencies such as LDC2)and ELRA3). The result is a domain of LR metadata that is far from interoperable. Although some progress has been made in developing dedicated bridges for “translating” meta

24、data from one specific schema to another and in providing a consolidated catalogue, this practice does not scale well since it depends on specific translations for each pair of different metadata schemas.For some recent projects, founding principles have included the unification and consolidation of

25、 practices and the need to produce efficient and sufficiently specific metadata descriptions.It follows that a number of international, European, and national projects and infrastructure initiatives such as CLARIN5and META-SHARE6now share the CMD approach to metadata for LRs. This International Stan

26、dard will both standardize the fundamentals of this approach in order to achieve interoperability based on solid documentation, and foster cooperation between the various initiatives and projects that work on, and with, this International Standard.The model description is the first part of an infras

27、tructure that forms a complete package for the creation of metadata schemas. As stated in the Foreword, the complete infrastructure standard contains, in addition to this component metadata model specification (ISO 24622-1), one or more metadata component specification languages (planned), and a num

28、ber of recommended metadata components and profiles (planned). Since this part of ISO 24622 specifies an abstract model, we will rely mainly on UML7to describe it.Figure 1 Describing resources with metadata1) Abbreviations are explained in Annex A.2) Linguistic Data Consortium, http:/www.ldc.upenn.e

30、create new metadata schemas, which can in turn be used either to describe new types of resources or to enable a more appropriate description for resources in specific circumstances. The metadata schema is instantiated into metadata records i.e. the metadata descriptions that describe the actual reso

31、urce(s) (see Figure 1).The context of this desire for flexible metadata modelling is that for scientific work there are usually various requirements for the proper description of LRs, and these requirements can derive from the specific needs of a project or from the facility or repository that will

32、be used to store the resource for future use. This variation requires a flexible framework that enables the easy creation of new metadata schemas for different purposes, but is also a framework (i) in which the instantiations have a strictly defined format so that at least syntactic correctness can

33、be checked, and (ii) which provides explicit semantics for the metadata schema elements for interpretation of the metadata record content.The metadata descriptions generated by schemas compliant with this model will also be compliant with other TC 37 International Standards, for example, those requi

34、ring that references to the described resources and resource parts use ISO 24619:2011 PISA-compatible persistent identifiers (PIDs)9.The definition of a resource in this context is very broad. This part of ISO 24622 takes a pragmatic view: for example, an image can be a resource in itself when it is

35、 associated with a PID and can be referenced as such, or it can be part of a document where it lacks an identity of its own. In addition, a reference can point to a part of this image. An individual resource can stand alone in one environment and be treated as part of a collection in another environ

36、ment. Also, metadata descriptions describe resources, but they, too, are a resource in different contexts. This part of ISO 24622 needs to support all such cases, and the model needs to provide descriptions at all levels of granularity.This part of ISO 24622 takes two types of collections into accou

37、nt:a) A complex resource may have been created as a collection originally and, versioning aside, it will exist as such in a rather static published form. Its specification will be treated as an independent entity by the responsible archiving institution that also provides a PID for such a collection

38、. In the context of this part of ISO 24622, the metadata for the collection is the collection specification. The archiving institution is responsible for maintaining the metadata representing the collection.b) In contrast, a different type of collection is one that was not planned and designed as a

39、collection by its creators or by the holding archive, but achieves its status as a federated resource based on research that needs to be verifiable. Such collections, although purposefully constructed by the researcher, may not have any significance outside the context of the research for which they

40、 were created. Referring from the research documents to the collection may also become tedious if the collection contains hundreds of individual resources. It follows that there is a need to capture these types of collection with a metadata record that is associated with all its constituent resource

41、s and appropriate metadata, but only as the incarnation of this collection. There is no natural responsible party to maintain this metadata record. It is unlikely that the researcher who created the “virtual” collection (VC) has any way of consistently maintaining and curating this metadata record i

42、n the long term. There may be special registries maintained by digital archives or publishers where researchers can register such virtual collections.Both types of collection are identified with the PID that refers to the collection metadata.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 24622-1:2015Language
