TITLE: Language-acquisition inspired sustainability modeling for application profiles
ABSTRACT: The ongoing accessibility of digital material is challenged by the constantly changing environment in which it exists. In particular, application profiles are threatened by a number of factors such as loss of context, social change and linguistic change. In this paper, we draw on observations taken from a number of application domains to build simple mathematical models for community growth and change, to explore the impact of community structure on the sustainability model required for application profiles over time. Finally, we discuss the use of similar models in evaluating application profile sustainability in general, and lessons to be drawn for DCMI.

TITLE: Dublin Core Usage for Describing Documents in Brazilian Government Digital Libraries
ABSTRACT: Digital libraries are increasingly common, being developed by government agencies to disseminate and preserve the documentation produced by its employees. This proposes a challenge in describing this type of documents, dealing official aspects in tools that are originally designed for bibliographic and scientific documents. In this sense, our objective is to verify how digital libraries, linked to the executive, legislative and judiciary Brazilian powers, are describing its documents collections. A study with descriptive and qualitative characteristics reveals the great adoption of DSpace software for creating these digital libraries and Dublin Core to describe the documents, showing DSpace and metadata schema adaptability for nonacademic document types. Thus, one contributes to the discussion on the use of Dublin Core to describe various types of documents on the Internet.

TITLE: Exploratory Analysis of Metadata Edit Events in the UNT Libraries' Digital Collections
ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of an exploratory analysis of edit events performed on records in the University of North Texas Libraries' Digital Collections during calendar year 2014.  By comparing the amount of time that editors worked on records for certain item types and collections, we were able to isolate different categories of activities ("creating" vs. "editing") and to generalize rough benchmarks for expected editing durations depending on project criteria.

TITLE: A DDC Visual Interface for Metadata Exploration
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a visualization interface for DDC-enriched metadata collections. Three sets of metadata from three different digital libraries were aggregated and re-indexed. Automatic analysis was performed to assign one or more DDC classes to each individual metadata record. A comprehensive search and exploratory interface was designed and implemented to include dashboard views, localized views, and universe views of DDC and the metadata collections. Finally, an experiment was conducted to test and compare how subjects interacted with different views for metadata search, exploratory and resource discovery.

TITLE: Evolution of an Application Profile: Advancing Metadata Best Practices through the Dryad Data Repository
ABSTRACT: Dryad is a curated digital archive for data associated with scholarly publications. In an effort to facilitate the discoverability, reusability, and interoperability of archived content, Dryad has implemented a standardized set of metadata elements in the form of a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP, hereafter referred to as application profile). This paper examines the evolution of Dryad's application profile from its inception in 2007 to its current practice, version 3.2. We model the relationships between data packages, data files, and publications for each version of the application profile and perform a crosswalk analysis to map equivalent metadata elements across each version. Results covering versions 1.0 to 3.0 show an increase in the number of metadata elements used to describe data objects in Dryad. Results also confirm that Version 3.0, which envisioned separate metadata element sets for data package, data files, and publication metadata, was never fully realized due to constraints in Dryad system architecture. Version 3.1 subsequently reduced the number of metadata elements captured by recombining the publication and data package element sets. This paper documents current practice in the form of version 3.2, and informs a larger effort to update the application profile to meet the needs of Dryad's diverse community of stakeholders and expanding scope.

TITLE: An Exploratory Analysis of Subject Metadata in the Digital Public Library of America
ABSTRACT: This paper presents results of an exploratory quantitative analysis of subject representation in the large dataset of over 8 million item-level metadata records in the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) originating from a number of institutions that serve as content or service hubs of DPLA. The findings demonstrate both similarities and differences in subject representation across content and service hub providers.  This benchmark study provides empirical data about the distribution of subjects at the hub level (e.g., minimum, maximum, and average number of subjects per record; number of records without subjects; and number of unique subjects) as well as distribution by hub type (content or service hubs), and subjects shared across similar hubs or across the entire aggregation.

TITLE: A DCAP to Promote Easy-to-Use Data for Multiresolution and Multitemporal Satellite Imagery Analysis
ABSTRACT: Satellite imagery can be exploited for any number of thematic analyses for Earth observationpurposes. Characterization activities using remotely acquired data are currently made complicatedby different limitations relating to, as an example, the meaningful mapping between multi-sensordata or the adding of the geospatial context to satellite information. We argue that describingsatellite images through a metadata application profile may leverage capabilities to promote easy-to-use data for further in-depth thematic analysis. Accordingly, an application profile conformingto the Dublin Core application profile (DCAP) guidelines and dedicated to Earth observations(EO) is being developed. More specifically, we discuss RDF-compliant machine-processableaspects of the EO application profile (EOAP) in terms of the DCMI Description Set Profile(DSP) model. Additionally, a methodological approach to represent a DSP model using UMLprofiling activities is proposed.

TITLE: Understanding Metadata Needs when Migrating DAMS
ABSTRACT: This study identifies and explores metadata needs associated with migrating to a new Digital Asset Management System (DAMS). Drawing upon results from a 2014 survey, titled "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey," this paper analyzes survey questions related to metadata, interoperability, and digital preservation. Results indicate three distinct metadata needs for future system development, including support for multiple or all metadata schema, metadata reuse, and digital object identifiers. While some of these needs resemble long-standing conversations in the professional literature, others offer new areas for system development moving forward.

TITLE: BEAM repository: a proposal for family and personal repository
ABSTRACT: Preservation of cultural heritage has been widely discussed in the last decades. Different groups of people contribute to the production and preservation of cultural heritage through personal and family performance. However, there is a lack of environments specifically prepared to store and organize the resources produced by these groups, resulting in difficulties to access and preserve these materials along the time. The hypothesis is that the digital repository and the structured metadata standards are relevant tools to provide the suitable environment to store, describe, access and preserve family and personal resources. The study herein has a theoretical and applied basis, for it aims to investigate and confirm the hypothesis using theories and applying them. It aims at demonstrating that the digital repositories are relevant for the storage, description, access and preservation of personal and family information. During implementation of the digital repository, DSpace software and Dublin Core standard were used. As a result, the implemented repository showed itself as a viable alternative for storing this information. It is possible to conclude that such a digital repository constitutes a tool that guarantees the preservation, access and sharing of archives, resources and data produced by families and individuals in the digital environment.

TITLE: Guidance, Please! Towards a Framework for RDF-based Constraint Languages.
ABSTRACT: In the context of the DCMI RDF Application Profile task group and the W3C Data Shapes Working Group solutions for the proper formulation of constraints and validation of RDF data on these constraints are developed. Several approaches and constraint languages exist but there is no clear favorite and none of the languages is able to meet all requirements raised by data practitioners.To support the work, a comprehensive, community-driven database has been created where case studies, use cases, requirements and solutions are collected. Based on this database,we published by today 81 types of constraints that are required by various stakeholders for data applications. We generally use this collection of constraint types to gain a better understanding of the expressiveness of existing solutions and gaps that still need to be filled. Regarding the implementation of constraint languages, we already proposed to use high-level languages to describe the constraints, but map them to SPARQL queries in order to execute the actual validation; we demonstrated this approach for Description Set Profiles.In this paper, we generalize from the experience of implementing Description Set Profiles by introducing an abstraction layer that is able to describe any constraint type in a way that is more or less straight-forwardly transformable to SPARQL queries. It provides a basic terminology and classification system for RDF constraints to foster discussions on RDF validation. We demonstrate that using another layer on top of SPARQL helps to implement validation consistently accross constraint languages and simplifies the actual implementation of new languages.

TITLE: The Use of Application Profiles and Metadata Schema by Digital Repositories
ABSTRACT: Shows the results of a survey by questionnaire sent to the managers of 2,165 digital repositories registered at the OpenDoar. Its purpose was to identify the existence and the use of application profiles and related metadata schemas. Of this total, 431 questionnaires were filled. The survey enabled the identification of profiles, as well as schemas and metadata elements used for these repositories. According to the results the number of repositories that use or provide application profiles is very low. The Dublin Core remains as the most commonly used metadata schema, followed by the MARC 21, METS and MODS. The dataset that resulted from the survey is openly available at RepositrioUM, the institutional repository of the University of Minho.

TITLE: Do We Need Application Profiles? Reflections and suggestions from work in DCMI and ISO/IEC
ABSTRACT: In this paper, the authors question the role and naming of "˜application profiles' (APs). It is not a research paper but aims to initiate a discussion that the authors think is pertinent. Both have been involved in the development and use of application profiles for some considerable time. This paper does not provide answers but aims to raise issues for others' consideration. Essentially, the issues show that communities can share work easily through the interchange of APs but suggests that greater precision in their naming would be useful, and they may not always be necessary given current technologies.

TITLE: A DCAP for the Social and Solidarity Economy
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) developed to serve the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). SSE organisations work with scarce resources, networking and partnerships appear as a highly relevant way of working, with potential for SSE organisations to gain visibility and attract funding, or even to be able to work at scale. Studies revealed that the SSE community wants to implement interoperability between their Web platforms - to build a global SSE e-marketplace, and also among their Web platforms and external ones. The DCAP-SSE serves this purpose; it was developed based in the Me4MAP, a method for the development of metadata Application Profiles. SSE organisations are submerged in the market economy but they have specificities not taken into account in this economy. The DCAP-SSE integrates not only terms from well-known metadata schemas, Resource Description Framework (RDF) vocabularies or ontologies, in order to enhance interoperability and take advantage of the benefits of the Linked Open Data ecosystem, but also terms from the essglobal RDF vocabulary. This new vocabulary was created to respond exactly to the SSE specific needs. The DCAP-SSE also integrates five new Vocabulary Encoding Schemes to be used with DCAP-SSE properties. This version of DCAP-SSE is a work in progress. Validation work needs to be continued, and new SSE dimensions will probably be integrated in future versions of the DCAP-SSE. Some work of dissemination and of development of support materials needs also to be undertaken.

TITLE: MOD: Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication
ABSTRACT: Ontology is an important artifact in Semantic Web applications. Today, there is enormous number of ontologies available on the Web. Even then, finding and identifying the right ontology is not that easy. This is because majority of the ontologies are either not described or described with a general purpose metadata vocabulary like, Dublin Core. On the other hand, ontology construction, irrespective of its types (e.g., general ontology, domain ontology, application ontology), is an expensive affair both in terms of human resources and other infrastructural resources. Hence, the ideal situation would be to reuse the existing ontologies to reduce the development effort and cost, and also to improve the quality of the original ontology. In the current work we present an ontology metadata vocabulary, called Ontology Library Metadata (OLM) for describing and publishing the ontologies. To design the vocabulary, we also propose a set of guiding principles and a well-established methodology, which counts real concerns of ontology users and practitioners.

TITLE: Exposing Library Holdings Metadata in RDF Using Schema.org Semantics
ABSTRACT: Libraries have been busy transforming and publishing their data as linked open data by testing already existing semantics and developing new sets of semantics. So far, most of the efforts have focused on the bibliographic data, not the holdings and item related data that are unique to individual libraries and that help users access the information resources they need. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library experimented with a subset of its bibliographic records (5.4 million) describing print resources and associated holdings data to examine options and best practices so far identified for expressing library holdings data using schema.org semantics. The experimentation suggests that the mappings for holdings data recommended by the BibExtend Community Group are in some ways incomplete and that some proposed uses of schema.org types and properties to describe library holdings go beyond current schema.org definitions. Existing schema.org enumerations should be extended (e.g., regarding availability) to better describe library use cases, and some extensions to schema.org are needed to fully describe library holdings data and to maximize their utility. This paper highlights issues, suggests potential extensions identified during the transformation to schema.org semantics, and discusses options to make essential library holdings data fully visible as linked open data.

TITLE: Leveraging SKOS to trace the overhaul of the STW Thesaurus for Economics
ABSTRACT: "What's new?" and "What has changed" are questions users of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), such as thesauri or classifications, ask when a new version is published. Much more so, when a thesaurus existing since the 1990s has been completely revised, subject area for subject area. After five intermediately published versions in as many consecutive years, STW Thesaurus for Economics has been re-launched recently in version 9.0. In total, 980 descriptors have been added; more than a thousand (of about 6,000) have been deprecated, in their vast majority merged into others. More subtle changes include modified preferred labels, or merges and splits of existing concepts. We here describe how these changes were tracked, making use of the published SKOS (Miles & Bechhofer, 2009) files of the versions, loading them into named graphs of a SPARQL endpoint and executing queries on them. An ontology supporting version and delta description and query formulation is introduced. High-level visualizations of aggregated change data and drill-downs to the actual concepts are presented. We finish with an outlook to the skos-history project, which generalizes and extends the methodology to different knowledge organization systems.

TITLE: Metadata Quality Control for Content Migration: The Metadata Migration Project at the University of Houston
ABSTRACT: The decision to migrate digital objects from one digital asset management system to another creates an excellent opportunity to clean and standardize descriptive metadata. The processes involved in moving large amounts of data from one platform to another lend themselves to automated analysis and remediation of metadata problems. The University of Houston (UH) Libraries established a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) Implementation Task Force in early 2014 to explore possibilities for implementing a more robust repository architecture for the UH Digital Library (DL). During the digital asset management system testing process, the UH Libraries Metadata Services Coordinator developed a set of scripts that programmatically accessed the data in the UHDL through the existing digital asset management system's application programming interface (API), created 2-Reports that were used to identify and correct problems, and laid the foundation for publishing UHDL data as linked data. This project report discusses the background for the work of the DAMS Implementation Task Force work and the metadata quality improvements that resulted from it as part of a new Metadata Migration Project.

TITLE: Interlinking Two Institutional KOS about Agroecology: Using LOD Agrovoc to Circumvent the Language Barrier in Identifying Terminological Intersections
ABSTRACT: INRA and Embrapa (respectively the French and the Brazilian national institutes for agricultural research) are historical partners in initiatives for knowledge and information management. Given the challenges involved in the mutual sharing of their technical-scientific production especially considering language barriers, efforts have been made to develop semantic interoperability between repositories and bibliographic databases of both institutions. INRA and Empraba databases (respectively ProdINRA and [email protected]) expose bibliographic data with Dublin Core. Among diverse agricultural subdomains, Agroecology is taking an increasingly important place in the issue of feeding the world, taking into account farmers activity, climate challenge, and modernization of agriculture. Yet, each country and organization has a different understanding of Agroecology and what it covers exactly in terms of social issues, techniques, inputs, and for instance its relation to organic farming. So, considering the ubiquity as well as the ambiguity surrounding the subject, Agroecology was chosen as a case study since both institutions have strategic interests to develop and implement technological facilities to maintain specific terminologies while sharing mutual information. This scenario is extremely timely and demands a quick solution.

TITLE: Metadata for Models Generated by OpenModeller
ABSTRACT: This poster proposes the use of a Dublin Core metadata standard to present and make available the models generated by the species distribution modeling tool openModeller, in order to facilitate interoperability of the data generated by tool itself or other modeling tools. One of the problems of the other current tools of species distribution modeling is that they generate models with their bespoke standards that mean the models cannot be used in other tools. Among the existing tools for species distribution modeling, openModeller stands out with some advantages over other species distribution modeling tools because it allows different formats for data input of occurrence of species, environmental data and parameters for the algorithms thus supporting users and users group in reach your goals without needing to know different platforms and modeling tools.

TITLE: Dublin Core and CIDOC CRM Harmonization
ABSTRACT: In order to integrate information from heterogeneous sources, ontologies as semantic technologies is a recommend solution. “An ontology is a description (like a formal specification of a program) of the concepts and relationships that can formally exist for an agent or a community of agents”. CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) is a very prominent ontology used for such purposes. As semantics mappings can be a solution for information integration and Dublin Core is the most prominent metadata used to describe web resources, we propose a harmonization between Dublin Core and CRM ontology. In this poster. the CRM is used as the mediated schema to integrate Cultural Heritage metadata sources.

TITLE: EZID: Easy Identifier and Metadata Management
ABSTRACT: EZID (pronounced easy-eye-dee) is an innovative service supporting the creation and management of identifiers, their accompanying metadata, and long-term access to things on the Internet. It is one of the few services that can supply a diversity of identifier and metadata types, and do so at the earliest stages of content development, long before the content is archived or its value is understood. A number of features make EZID unique. Its identifiers and metadata can describe anything of any type: documents, films, digitized maps, datasets, fossils, stars, vocabulary terms, people, etc. Moreover, it is designed to support any kind of identifier (currently ARKs and DOIs) and a variety of metadata profiles, such as Dublin Core, Kernel, and DataCite. Its affiliated "resolvers," n2t.net (standing for Name-to-Thing) and doi.org, support persistent identifier reference for any Internet user. The n2t.net resolver has an unusual scaling feature called "suffix passthrough" that permits a customer to manage one identifier (eg, for a top level collection) in such a way that it is capable of resolving many thousands of sub-identifiers. Fundamentally, EZID provides both a user interface and an application programming interface (API) that make centralized metadata management and maintenance – the true foundation of all persistent identifiers – easy and automatable. With a view to sustainability, EZID charges a small annual fee to recover costs. Persistence is a priority, so customers who can no longer pay the fee nonetheless still retain login privileges in order to continue managing their existing identifiers. Customers include libraries, museums, archives, government agencies, publishers, and commercial data services.

TITLE: Sweet Potato Ontology
ABSTRACT: The sweetpotato ontology is part of a community effort to establish a set standard nomenclature to describe crop development and agronomic traits to facilitate analyzing and sharing of phenotypic and genotypic information. The development and adoption of data standards is vital to the interoperability of sweetpotato data. Phenotype ontologies are controlled, hierarchically-related phenotypic descriptions that enable large-scale computation among individuals, populations, and even multiple species. The International Potato Center (CIP) is currently pursuing the development of standards for plant phenotyping data in collaboration with other interested groups. The advantage of ontology is that both humans and software applications can understand a data domain. This will allow the application of numerical or data mining techniques that may help to uncover previously unknown correlations. Building on previous draft versions, here we focus on traits important to breeding.

TITLE: Joa Archival Description Application Profile
ABSTRACT: This study explores the role of the RDF model proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), focusing on the elements that make up the General International Standard Archival Description [ISAD (G)]. Based on this condition, we propose an application profile that makes use of metadata elements of Dublin Core (DC) and Encoded Archival Description (EAD) standards with compliance with ISAD (G) Standard, to the description in the mold of RDF model. In a qualitative approach, we performed an exploratory, literature and documentary research. Developed the Joá Archival Description Application Profile (JADAP), a profile that assists in the organization of existing archival information on the web today, which describes archival units in parts, structuring information and relating them to other information present in other databases through inferences. This study corroborate the organization and retrieval of archival information available today on the web, and in particular, that guide the search field oriented to Information Science (IS) and Archival Science, in order to enlarge the dialogue between them and the universe of the Semantic Web.

TITLE: Arquitetura Semântica de Recuperação da Informação
ABSTRACT: O grande aumento da produção e disseminação de dados na Internet pode oferecer informações de alto valor agregado às organizações. Estas informações podem estar em bases distintas e heterogêneas e em fontes que antes não eram consideradas relevantes, como mídias sociais, blogs e outros. Se as organizações conseguirem utilizar destas fontes, podem fazer com que haja uma nova visão de gestão conhecida como Inteligência Competitiva. No contexto de uma arquitetura de Recuperação da Informação, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo a implementação de um agente de extração semântica no contexto da Web que permita a localização, armazenamento, tratamento e recuperação de informações do tipo Big Data nas mais variadas fontes informacionais na Internet que sirva de base para a implementação de ambientes informacionais de apoio à decisão.
