metadataformaattien
Metadataformaattien refers to standardized methods for encoding metadata about digital objects. They define how descriptive, structural, and administrative information is stored and exchanged. These formats enable discovery, interoperability, accurate data management, and long-term preservation across systems and institutions. General-purpose formats include Dublin Core, an element-based schema; RDF-based representations (RDF/XML, Turtle, JSON-LD); and XML schemas that encode metadata in a machine-readable form. For workflows and repositories, more complex schemes such as METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) embed descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata within digital objects, while PREMIS focuses on preservation events and provenance. Domain-specific formats cover media types: EXIF and IPTC for images, XMP for metadata embedded in files, and MPEG-7 or MPEG-DX for multimedia descriptors.
Implementation considerations include selecting formats that align with existing ecosystems, reusing established vocabularies such as Dublin
Challenges include balancing expressiveness with simplicity, handling schema evolution, and ensuring long-term readability. The term metadataformaattien
