This paper describes the development of a testbed for formalized categories of collection-item metadata relationships. Because these categories are characterized using logic-based formal languages and are most naturally analyzed by exploring inferences and logical relationships, the testbed is based on contemporary semantic web architecture. We describe the design and development of the testbed, discussing some challenges that we overcame in the process of translating OAI-PMH XML records into DCAM-compliant descriptions sets that could be represented in RDF.
