A multi-layer metadata schema for digital folklore collections

Περίληψη:
Digital folklore collections are valuable sources for studying the
cultural and oral tradition of a country. The main difficulty in
managing such collections is material heterogeneity (handwritten texts,
photographs, 3D objects, sound recordings etc.) that imposes different
digitization, description and maintenance practices. A multi-layer
metadata model for the description of a digital folklore collection is
presented. The proposed metadata policy considers a collection as a
hierarchy of entities and combines different metadata schemas for the
management of each entity. The metadata model integrates elements from
different metadata schemas ensuring efficient information recovery from
all structural levels. Furthermore, interoperability between the used
metadata schemas is discussed and a Topic Maps model is presented as an
approach for developing mappings.
