Developing a Metadata Exchange Format for Mathematical Literature
David Ruddy · Czech digital mathematics library · 2010
summary:This paper describes an effort to develop a metadata element set for the exchange of descriptive metadata about mathematical literature. The approach taken uses the Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) framework, based on the DC Abstract Model. A fully developed DCAP for mathematical literature would be valuable, as both a guide and constraint in the creation of metadata records suitable for harvesting via OAI or sharing through other means. Adhering to the DCAP model would also enhance global interoperability with other metadata schemes. The successful development of a DCAP for mathematical literature, however, will require broader DML community input to resolve open issues and gain acceptance.
