Imeji Standard Metadata Profiles

Use Case

A metadata profile editor does not want to create an own metadata profile but he wants to integrate a standardised metadata set.

Possible walk through:

1. The user creates a collection
2. The user wants to create a metadata profile, therefore he can:
   1. Create an own metadata profile
   2. Use an existing profile as template
   3. Use a standard profile
3. The user decides to use a standard profile: The metadata profile editor is populated with the standard metadata statements

Open questions:

• May the user be allowed to change the standard metadata profile (delete statements, change cardinality etc.)?
  • Would be a problem if we support standardized exports (especially with transformations)
• GUI issue: How can we best display such profiles (it is possible that we have a deep hierarchy, long profiles etc.)
  • Probably a start to optimize profile layout? As it gets very overloaded when one has many metadata statements.
  • Idea: When editing a profile the statements are displayed as a text list, the statement can be unfolded if I want to edit this specific one.
