Dataset Descriptions (W3C)

Access to consistent, high-quality metadata is critical to finding, understanding, and reusing scientific data. This document describes a consensus among participating stakeholders in health care and the life sciences domain on the description of datasets using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). This specification meets key functional requirements, reuses existing vocabularies to that extent that it is possible, and addresses elements of data description, versioning, provenance, discovery, exchange, query, and retrieval. This work is under the auspices of the W3C Semantic Web in Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLSIG). The information on this page was taken from the Editors Working Draft on 2015-02-24 (More).. The specification includes recommendations at three levels (Required = MUST, Recommended = SHOULD, and Optional = MAY) for three types of metadata content:

• Summary Level: The summary level provides a description of a dataset that is independent of a specific version or format.
• Version Level: The version level captures version-specific characteristics of a dataset.
• Distribution Level: The distribution level captures metadata about a specific form and version of a dataset.

xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements. This usually indicates one of several concrete realizations of an abstract object. For example /*/gmd:identificationInfo could be gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo or gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo and gmd:identificationInfo/*/gmd:descriptiveKeywords could be gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords or gmd:identificationInfo/srv:SV_ServiceIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords. Fit: The fit of the dialect path with the concept is estimated on a scale of 1 = excellent two-way fit, 2 = one-way fit or some other problem, 3 - extension required.
