TL;DR: Factors for successful authority control in current library catalogs are discussed, which include operation in a well-defined and bounded universe, application of principles and standard practices to access point creation, reference to authoritative lists, and bibliographic record creation by highly trained individuals.
Abstract: A variety of information communities have developed metadata schemes to meet the needs of their own users. The ability of libraries to incorporate and use multiple metadata schemes in current library systems will depend on the compatibility of imported data with existing catalog data. Authority control will play an important role in metadata interoperability. In this article, I discuss factors for successful authority control in current library catalogs, which include operation in a well-defined and bounded universe, application of principles and standard practices to access point creation, reference to authoritative lists, and bibliographic record creation by highly trained individuals. Metadata characteristics and environmental models are examined and the likelihood of successful authority control is explored for a variety of metadata environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus, method, and system for generating semi-deployed enterprise java beans is described, which makes use of metadata to identify an intended deployment of an undeployed java bean.
Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for generating semi-deployed enterprise java beans is provided. The apparatus, method and system make use of metadata to identify an intended deployment of an undeployed enterprise java bean. The metadata may be packaged with the undeployed enterprise java bean into a java archive file which is provided to a deployment tool either on the same computing device or a different computing device. The deployment tool may make use of the metadata when generating deployment classes for the undeployed enterprise java bean. However, if the deployment tool is unable to recognize the metadata or the use of the metadata is not wanted, the deployment tool may also deploy the undeployed enterprise java bean in a conventional manner.

TL;DR: This paper aims to highlight the use of metadata in e-Government projects with a review of the most widely metadata standard used in DC, and to compare the work which has been carried out in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland with DC.
Abstract: the broad definition of metadata is 'data about data' or 'data that describe data or information'. In more specific terms, 'metadata is data about other data or objects, used to describe digitized and non-digitized resources located in a distributed system in a network environment' (Haynes, D, p 8). In e-Government applications it may be used, amongst other for the discovery and retrieval of government information, as well as to assist in the management of government electronic resources. In other words, metadata is the key to interoperability. This paper aims to highlight the use of metadata in e-Government projects with a review of the most widely metadata standard used in e-Government application (DC). Also, it will compare the work which has been carried out in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland with DC, as all these metadata projects are based on simple Dublin Core metadata. Finally, roadmap for metadata development will be proposed.

TL;DR: A comprehensive metadata framework to support the user assistance activities and their automation in the context of next generation BI systems is proposed, based on the findings of a survey of current user-centric approaches mainly focusing on query recommendation assistance.
Abstract: Next generation Business Intelligence (BI) systems require integration of heterogeneous data sources and a strong user-centric orientation. Both needs entail machine-processable metadata to enable automation and allow end users to gain access to relevant data for their decision making processes. Although evidently needed, there is no clear picture about the necessary metadata artifacts, especially considering user support requirements. Therefore, we propose a comprehensive metadata framework to support the user assistance activities and their automation in the context of next generation BI systems. This framework is based on the findings of a survey of current user-centric approaches mainly focusing on query recommendation assistance. Finally, we discuss the benefits of the framework and present the plans for future work.

18 Jul 2003TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for retrieving metadata for a media file is presented, which includes instructions for querying a plurality of metadata sources in a predetermined order to retrieve metadata for the media file.
Abstract: A method and system for retrieving metadata for a media file. A source selection component includes instructions for querying a plurality of metadata sources in a predetermined order to retrieve metadata for the media file. The source selection component also includes instructions for retrieving metadata from metadata sources according business rules as required for specific metadata. A graphical user interface displays metadata from the first source identified as having available metadata, or displays metadata from the source designated by business rules.
