  • work in progress

Open issues[edit]

  • Is the Application Profile specified for single solutions? (In the following you find PubMan Metadata)
    • If yes, it would be a good idea to have specific namespaces for solution-specific metadata
    • What would be the benefit of solution specific namespaces? Maybe elements start as solution-specific and get introduced to other solutions later?
  • Do we need an application model as a basis for this application profile?
  • URLs for Encoding Schemes are missing
  • Complex Types like
    • Date: We do have more date types, e.g. acceptance, publication, publication-online
  • Other & minor issues
    • Is Location confined to libraries?
      Legacy requirement from SWB. This element is only expected to be filled for rare documents like manuscripts. If we want to concentrate on PubMan, we might consider deletion
    • Encoding Scheme for identifier?
    • How is the list of element sorted?
    • Question: Do we need to document refinements which are inherited from external sources? Example: For "alternative" we currently repeat the information ("Refines http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title") from dcterms, the same is not done for "tableofcontents" (refines http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/description)
    • OccElementurrence value for abstracts does not follow standard usage? ("Unlimited")

Application Profile[edit]

This is the beginning of the Application Profile (AP) for eSciDoc and describes the descriptive metadata record stored for each publication (= the intellectual entity represented by an item object in eSciDoc). Additional information about objects (properties for items and its components) and structural relations between objects are also existing, but currently not considered in this AP. The AP is nowhere near to being complete yet.

In the first step, the AP is meant for documenting the existing xml schemas only. The document should be the basis for all future communication about the pubman metadata profile in use (and potentially replace the page PubMan Metadata Sets?). Anyway, we also expect that this approach will help us clarifying how to implement the requirements, thus the work will have certain impacts on the xml schemas.
