- Abstract
- Metadata systems are concerned with the management of data which describes other data (datasets, catalogues, or actual database management systems) and are presently the subject of intensive research. Metadata systems can be used to store richly detailed forms of information, perform seamless wide ranging searches of information distributed across networks, and to integrate information stored in disparate repositories. Describes a model design and methods of implementation derived from the experience of the Leicester University Metadata Project. The approach utilizes the incorporation of semantic metadata in addition to resource metadata, resulting in a generally more powerful system than existing global directory services. Feature of the class of design is flexibility or implementation, with the ability to provide a coherent metadata system functioning above heterogeneous autonomous distributed databases
