大型文献数字化项目的元数据标准的调查与构建

Survey and Construction of Metadata Standard for Mass Digitization Projects

数字化加工是数字资源建设的主要方式之一,对其成果的描述是数字资源整合利用的基础。本研究首先调查知名大型文献数字化项目中数字对象描述方式与标准规范,从中发现此类项目通用的描述元素;并结合数字化项目特点,对元数据标准从描述、管理、结构3个方面进行完善,主要是细分时间、主题、来源、关系等元素;并增添权限管理、贡献机构、数字化详细说明等元素。

Digitization is one of the main means for digital resources construction, and the descriptions of digital items are playing important roles for information resource integration. This study investigates the metadata standard of 8 fhmous projects, and identifies the common elements in them. By taking into account of the features of digitization, it proposes improvement of metadata standards from 3 aspects, namely, description, administration and structuring, mainly through subdividing elements such as time, subject, source and relation. It also proposes the addition of elements, such as rights management, contributing institutions and detailed explanation.
