RDF Schema for the Renardus Application Profile including CORES Registry specific data This schema contains descriptions of the Renardus Application Profile and its Element Usages. It includes descriptions of types and relationships that support the CORES Registry 2003-06 2003-08-15 text/xml Renardus Consortium Renardus SBIG ID Renardus DDC Renardus Creator Scheme Renardus Country Code SBIG ID Country Full Record URL Renardus Application Profile The Renardus Application Profile is used in the content databases accessed by the Renardus broker service. This description created for CORES registry: actual URIs deployed by Renardus for elements and encoding schemes may vary. Title Mandatory 1 Title Title | Alternative optional unbounded Alternative Creator Creator(s) are person(s) which are responsible for the intellectual content of the document(s), e.g. webmasters are no creators. If this field is applicable it is strongly recommended to provide the creator. For Renardus normalization process it is strongly recommended that last name and first name are clearly distinguishable. Recommended Unbounded Creator Description For the Renardus normalization process it is not enough to provide only a URL, for cross-search reasons the field description must contain free text. Best Practice: Use text (and not only a URL) to describe the resource. Mandatory Unbounded Description Subject Unqualified information for keywords and/or classification system(s) (notations and captions) used by partners. Here is the place for all subject information used by partners like controlled keywords, free keywords, classification system(s) and/or captions. In the prototype system there will be no further distinction between the several kinds of subject. In the prototype system the provision of keywords is strongly recommended, in the final system the provision of keywords is required. Best Practice: It is highly recommended that either freetext or controlled vocabulary be included in the metadata where appropriate and feasible. It is also recommended that a controlled vocabulary should be used with encoding scheme specified. Mandatory Unbounded Subject Subject | DC encoding schemes Recommended Unbounded LCSH LCC DDC UDC MeSH Subject | R encoding schemes Here is the place for all subject information used by partners like controlled keywords, free keywords, classification system(s) and/or captions expressed as Renardus encoding scheme. In the prototype system there will be no further distinction between the several kinds of subject. In the prototype system the provision of keywords is strongly recommended, in the final system the provision of keywords is required. Best Practice: Always use the encoding scheme(s) for terms from a controlled vocabulary. Mandatory Unbounded AGRIFOREST BC DDC2 DEFFC EIC EIT GEOREF GOK HASSET MSC2000 NLM NOVASC SWD YSA ZADISC Subject | Ren-DDC This field is created in the Renardus normalization process via mapping tables from the particular Subject Gateway classification scheme. Each partner has to map the own classification system to DDC. Mapping guideline for DDC will be prepared in the context of WP 7. Only captions and not notations will be displayed. Mandatory Unbounded Identifier | URI URI means URL, URN, DOI, ISBN, ISSN etc. For Renardus normalization process DOI, ISBN und ISSN must be displayed in a URN syntax. In the prototype system no distinction will be made between resource URL, mirrored, copied resource URL(s) and URL(s) for archive reasons. Mandatory Repeatable for translated sites and/or mirrored, copied sites Resource Identifier URI Language | ISO639-2 The language code is the ISO 639-2, three letter code. SUB will provide a mapping between the two letter and three letter language code but this will also be found on the LoC site - ISO 639-2: http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html. Best Practice: Use codes rather than text. Recommended means if there is any spoken or written text, supply. Recommended Unbounded Language ISO 639-2 Type Subject Gateways should provide their original types without any encoding scheme. Recommended Unbounded Resource Type Type | DCMIType SUB will provide a mapping of all types used in partners' subject gateways to DCT1 (probably except of ZADI). The possibility and usability of a mapping to DCT2 will be investigated in the context of WP 7. Recommended Unbounded DCMI Type Vocabulary Country | ISO 3166-1 Recommend two entries in the country element covering cultural heritage and country of origin. The country element has nothing to do with the CONTENT of a resource, but the cultural heritage of the resource/server or its geographical location. Recommended Unbounded ISO 3166 Full Record URL | URL Because some partners generate their records dynamically it might be a problem to provide a URL to the full record display. Recommended 1 SBIG ID | acronym Must be the same acronym as used in the Renardus Collection Level Description schema field Acronym. Mandatory 1
