Metadata Status Report

Getting to DLESE Version 2.0 (2003 Jan. 14)

2

ADN-item Current: version 0.1.01

Some agreement between A-D-N on structure No agreement on new vocabs (very rough now)

Want: version 1.0.0 Same structure as 0.1.01 but vocabs have been

reviewed by A-D-N and community Steps:

Complete vocab draft Have a listserv discussion (Feb 5 to Mar 7) Make adjustments as necessary

3

ADN-collection Current: No A-D-N agreed version

Near a DLESE version to support DLESE policies

Want: A-D-N agreed version Decision Pts:

Support DLESE policies for collections by using the DLESE specific version now and for V2.0?

Delay A-D-N collection-level metadata dev. in order to concentrate on collections, DCS and item vocabs & ADN-item conversion?

Collection Decisions Decision Pts:

DPC provides maps from really old DLESE-IMS to ADN. ESEDL may need DPC to write code because only have 4 days of SE from now until June 30th. Can we help?

Conversion from DLESE-IMS to ADN is non-trival. Will convert required metadata first. Need to learn Python DOM better to move beyond required metadata. I need to take learning time.

ADN does offline; does the DCS need to?

Work Plan (priority order)

1. Firm up vocabs for ADN2. DLESE-specific collection metadata3. Convert DLESE-IMS to ADN 4. Help ESEDL be a DLESE collection5. Help ADEPT, AVC, be collections 6. DCS development (status frameworks)7. Convert ADN to DC-simple for NSDL8. Convert ADN to DC-qualified for NSDL9. Convert News & Opps to ADN
