Data

Start small and publish metadata as linked data

Submitted by Land Registry on

Standards for metadata should be embedded in standards for data publication since it is the presence of the metadata that creates information from the data by allowing it to be interpreted. A good standard for data publication is one that appears to be emerging as a de facto standard, specifically linked data.

Dublin Core and Linked (meta) data

Submitted by Mike Thacker on

Apply metadata using Dublin Core Terms (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/) and mandate some terms for some circumstances by defining appl;ication profiles.

Populate the subject property with concepts from Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) compliant vocabularies with each conept having a URI that de-references to its precise meaning. 

Express metatadata in a variety of formats, including as triples in 5-star Linked Data  Publicise schemas for data structures that are richer than simple metadata.
