Metadata Standards Framework - Preservation Metadata (Revised)
This preservation metadata schema details the data elements needed to support the preservation of digital objects and will form the basis for the design of a database repository and input systems for collecting and storing preservation metadata. It incorporates a number of data elements needed to manage the metadata in addition to metadata relating to the digital object itself. The aim has been to produce a document that will serve as an implementation template while at the same time remaining consistent with standards being developed internationally around preservation metadata.
Metadata Standards Framework - Resource discovery framework
This document defines and describes the core descriptive metadata standards to be used by the National Library for resource discovery across all media and for all the Library’s collections.
Metadata Standards Framework - Preservation metadata data model
This document presents a data dictionary model for implementation of the Library’s logical preservation metadata schema. It details the data elements needed to support the preservation of digital objects and forms the basis for the design of a database repository and input systems for collecting and storing preservation metadata.
Metadata Standards Framework - Resource discovery framework diagram
This diagram represents the Library's approach to coordinating its metadata - using international Standard metadata schema appropriate to each task, but mapping/exposing it via Dublin Core for global resource discovery (including encoding in RDF and XML for global data interchange).
