Abstract

In the current information environment, metadata interoperability has become the predominant way of organizing and managing resources. However, current approaches to metadata interoperability focus on the superficial mapping between labels of metadata elements without considering semantics of each element. This research applied facet analysis to address these difficulties in achieving metadata interoperability. By categorizing metadata elements according to these semantic and functional similarities, this research identified different types of facets: basic, conceptual, and relational. Through these different facets, a faceted framework was constructed to mediate semantic, syntactical, and structural differences across heterogeneous metadata standards.

Abstract

This exploratory study outlines the rationalization of why Ontology’s taxonomy requires a strong hierarchy, accuracy, and interoperability in order to be used as a successfully re-useable information management system. Finding the relevant information in a plethora of possible resources by bridging the gap between the user’s needs and the resources of the information technology system is the goal that the information management field should find a way to achieve. This study is based on discussions and interviews with a taxonomist, information architect, and information manager, whose discussions were based on the usability and interoperability of the knowledge based information systems. These professional perspectives are necessary as they are the liaison between users and the information technology group. We found that in order for information managers to ensure successful sharing of knowledge across the end users, a common sense language must be issued in order to achieve reasoning for the artificial intelligence system.

가치 있는 디지털 정보자원으로서 연구정보를 위한 보존 메타데이터 요소를 개발하였다. 특히 국가정책지식 생산의 주역이라고 할 수 있는 경제․인문사회 분야 정부출연연구기관의 연구정보를 장기적으로 보존하여 활용할 수 있는 기반으로서 보존 메타데이터 요소를 개발하였다. 다양한 부서와 기관에서 분산 관리되고 있는 연구정보의 상호운용성을 확보하기 위하여 OAIS 참조모형을 기반으로 유럽표준인 CERIF와 PREMIS 데이터 사전의 요소들을 비교 분석한 다음, 양자의 특성을 반영하여 상호보완적인 보존 메타데이터 요소를 개발하였다. 그 결과로서 개념적 차원이 아닌 실제 구현이 가능하고 시스템 간의 호환성이 전제된 연구정보 보존 메타데이터 요소들과 적용사례를 제시하였다.

Abstract

This study aimed at developing preservation metadata elements and its applications for research information which is considered as a valuable digital resource these days. Specifically, the developed preservation metadata intends to provide a basis for the research information of the government-funded research institutes in economic and social science fields which are major knowledge producers of national policy. To ensure the interoperability of the research information across various departments and organizations, this study compared the elements from the CERIF(European Standard) and those from the PREMIS Data Dictionary which is based on OAIS reference model (ISO 14721). Based on this comparative analysis, this study developed complementary preservation metadata elements based on the two standards’ characteristics. Consequently, this study suggested a new preservation metadata elements and its applications that are compatible between the two systems and can be implemented in practice.
