'''Open questions:'''
 
* May the user be allowed to change the standard metadata profile (delete statements, change cardinality etc.)?
== Backend Specification ==
** Would be a problem if we support standardized exports (especially with transformations)
* An administrator can upload standard profiles from the admin interface
** Idea: The standard metadata profiles stays untouched but the user may create derivatives from them (children that inherit all statements from the standard metadata profiles). These derivatives are copies that are saved under another name but are fully editable. That way the standard metadata profiles and their standardized exports are always available. To support export for the derivatives the mappings should work in a similar fashion, that is the user may create derivatives of the standard  mappings in order to retain the used standard statements while also be able to add or delete statements in an easy way. Standard mappings shall be documented to let the editor identify each statement at a glance. --[[User:Jroeder|Jroeder]] 13:19, 22 April 2013 (CEST)
* Question: Can we manage those profiles in CoNE? Therefore tehy could be reused by other instances
*** I agree with Jörg. We have 2 object:s the profile and the mapping. When using a template, the user gets both predefined, but can modify them. The original standard template is not affected by the changes. But we could think a way to create new templates and/or to share profiles and mappings between collections.--[[User:Bastien|Bastien]] 16:56, 30 April 2013 (CEST)
* xsd import is already realized for the import tool. To check what we can reuse.
* GUI issue: How can we best display such profiles (it is possible that we have a deep hierarchy, long profiles etc.)
* The profile will be stored as a template for a collection. This means there is always a 1:1 connection between profiles and collections
** Probably a start to optimize profile layout? As it gets very overloaded when one has many metadata statements. [[Talk:Imeji_Standard_Metadata_Profiles]]
** In the background a standard mapper element will be created for each profile
** 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. (Therefore we do not have as many buttons, check boxes etc. which can be distracting).
** The user can edit a standard profile

== Frontend Specification ==
* Standard profiles are provided for selection (create metadata profile page) in a separate drop down or in an options drop down with other templates
* When the user edits a standard profile it should be clear for him that he leaves the standard (plus standard export)
* In the view page of metadata (image page), it should be possible to view the namespaces for standard profile (perhaps in a new tab)

Use Case[edit]

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


Backend Specification[edit]

  • An administrator can upload standard profiles from the admin interface
  • Question: Can we manage those profiles in CoNE? Therefore tehy could be reused by other instances
  • xsd import is already realized for the import tool. To check what we can reuse.
  • The profile will be stored as a template for a collection. This means there is always a 1:1 connection between profiles and collections
    • In the background a standard mapper element will be created for each profile
    • The user can edit a standard profile

Frontend Specification[edit]

  • Standard profiles are provided for selection (create metadata profile page) in a separate drop down or in an options drop down with other templates
  • When the user edits a standard profile it should be clear for him that he leaves the standard (plus standard export)
  • In the view page of metadata (image page), it should be possible to view the namespaces for standard profile (perhaps in a new tab)


Supported Metadata Standards[edit]

Which metadata standards should we support, please enhance the list. If possible link to the RDF representation of a standard:

Metadata Export[edit]

As we now provide standard metadata we can also provide standardized exports (via various transformations which are already available). Please add the export formats you want to have supported (if possible plus xslt from format of standard list above to export format):

    • the metadata standarts (as defined before) should be all supported by the export. Since the mechanismus should be generic (up to the XSLT file which might be defined for each format), this should not be a major effort. --Bastien 17:01, 30 April 2013 (CEST)

Enhancements[edit]

  • It would be nice if the admin could add predefined metadata profiles. Therefore he could also integrate native metadata or add other profiles as needed. (integrate into admin area?)
