TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a mechanism for associating metadata with network resources and for locating the network resources in a language-independent manner, including a natural language name of the network resource, its location, its language, its region or intended audience, and other descriptive information.
Abstract: Mechanisms for associating metadata with network resources, and for locating the network resources in a language-independent manner are disclosed. The metadata may include a natural language name of the network resource, its location, its language, its region or intended audience, and other descriptive information. The owners register the metadata in a registry (10). A copy of the metadata is stored on a server (60) associated with a group of the network resources and in a registry that is indexed at a central location (32). A crawler service (24) periodically updates the registry by polling the information on each server associated with registered metadata. To locate a selected network resource, a client (70) provides the name of the network resource to a resolver process. The resolver process provides to the client the network resource location corresponding to the network resource name. Multiple metadata mappings can be established for the same network resource.

TL;DR: In this article, a database structure is populated with the at least two different types of metadata to form composite metadata, which is then stored in the database structure to store the metadata.
Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to create a database structure that contains groups of linked data tables to store different types of metadata selected from Business Metadata, Structural Metadata and Operational Metadata. At least two different types of metadata are received. The database structure is populated with the at least two different types of metadata to form composite metadata.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for managing business objects data sources, each storing multiple data items, and for each data source, multiple computer searchable index documents and multiple metadata tables, including master tables and mapping tables, are generated.
Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer-readable media, and systems for managing business objects data sources. Multiple business objects data sources, each storing multiple data items, are accessed. For each data source, multiple computer-searchable index documents and multiple metadata tables, including master tables and mapping tables, are generated. The multiple computer-searchable index documents and the multiple metadata tables are provided to perform a search for data items in the multiple business objects data sources.

Abstract: Richly interlinked, machine-understandable data constitutes the basis for the Semantic Web. Annotating web documents is one of the major techniques for creating metadata on the Web. However, annotation tools so far are restricted in their capabilities of providing richly interlinked and truely machine-understandable data. They basically allow the user to annotate with plain text according to a template structure, such as Dublin Core. We here present CREAM (Creating RElational, Annotation-based Metadata), a framework for an annotation environment that allows to construct relational metadata, i.e. metadata that comprises class instances and relationship instances. These instances are not based on a fix structure, but on a domain ontology. We discuss some of the requirements one has to meet when developing such a framework, e.g. the integration of a metadata crawler, inference services, document management and information extraction, and describe its implementation, viz. Ont-O-Mat a component-based, ontology-driven annotation tool.
