Talk:ESciDoc Application Profiles
Revision as of 14:49, 30 January 2008 by Inga (talk | contribs) (→Further resources/requirements under work)
Complex Elements[edit]
The proposed data model for a complex type like "Creator" in eSciDoc looks like this:
- Creator, with properties
- CreatorType, which can either be:
- Person, which has the following properties:
- Complete Name
- Family Name
- Given Name
- Alternative Name
- Person Title
- Pseudonym
- Organisation
- Identifier
- Organisation, with the following properties:
- Oranisation Name
- Address
- Identifier
- Person, which has the following properties:
- Creator Type has a further property:
- Creator Role, which can be:
- Author
- Artist
- Editor, ....
- Creator Role, which can be:
- CreatorType, which can either be:
If we want the Application Profile to be Dublin-Core compliant, an issue with such complex types arises:
The DC Application Profile guidelines define Application Profiles as flat structures by allowing for relational attributes such as
- Refines
- Refined By
- Encoding Scheme For
- Has Encoding Scheme
- Similar To
One possible solution to the dilemma would look like:
- use "person" as an element that refines "creator" with an encoding scheme that defines its components (complete name, family name, ...)
- use "organisation" as an element that refines "creator" with a corresponding encoding scheme
- either
- attach creatorRole as component of "person" and "organisation" with yet another encoding scheme (not sure whether or not nested encoding schemes are allowed)
- or create an element "creatorRole" on the same level as "person" and "organisation" with a corresponding encoding scheme
Are there other suggestions?
Components[edit]
from the discussion on 30th of January: Introduce distinction between metadata (e.g. format, description, content category) and properties (e.g. date-created, etc?)
-> Natasa to check changes required in framework (-> placeholder for metadata record for component)
