Title: Metadata Infrastructure for Language Resources and Technology
Date/Version?: 2009-02-04 - Version 5
Content: This document gives an overview about how metadata descriptions are used until now, what the deficits of the current infrastructures are and which lessons we as community learned from about a decade of experience. Based on this the requirements for a new CLARIN approach are being worked out. This document will be discussed in the appropriate working groups and in the Executive Board. It will be subject of regular adaptations dependent on the progress in CLARIN.

Title: Best Practice Guide for using CLARIN metadata components
Date/Version?: 2010
Content: The Dutch CLARIN project “Creating and using CLARIN metadata components” was the first to actually test the use of components and to try to create metadata descriptions for resources available in two Dutch language resource centers: the Institute for Dutch Lexicology (INL) and the Meertens Institute. This “Best Practice Guide” is the result of this project. It will however in the future be extended with new experiences gained by new projects that will make use of the CMDI.

http://www.clarin.eu/system/files/cmdi_isocat_Paper.pdf
Title: A Data Category Registry- and Component-based Metadata Framework
Date/Version?: 2010-05-19
Content: We describe our computer-supported framework to overcome the rule of metadata schism. It combines the use of controlled vocabularies, managed by a data category registry, with a component-based approach, where the categories can be combined to yield complex metadata structures. A metadata scheme devised in this way will thus be grounded in its use of categories. Schema designers will profit from existing prefabricated larger building blocks, motivating re-use at a larger scale. The common base of any two metadata schemes within this framework will solve, at least to a good extent, the semantic interoperability problem, and consequently, further promote systematic use of metadata for existing resources and tools to be shared.

Title: ISOcat: remodelling metadata for language resources
Date/Version?: 2009
Content: Abstract: The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, is creating a state-of-the-art web environment for the ISO TC 37 (terminology and other language and content resources) metadata registry. This Data Category Registry (DCR) is called ISOcat and encompasses data categories for a broad range of language resources. Under the governance of the DCR Board, ISOcat provides an open work space for creating data category specifications, defining Data Category Selections (DCSs) (domain-specific groups of data categories), and standardising selected data categories and DCSs. Designers visualise future interactivity among the DCR, reference registries and ontological knowledge spaces.
