A Metadata Architecture to Represent Electronic Documents on the Web



Link to this resource

Metadata have long played an important role to database systems as catalogue data used to support database management systems operations. Only recently, have metadata been also employed to describe digital resources available across networks. This paper presents a formal structure for representing and describing electronic documents on the Web. It is based on a metadata conceptual model, and although the idea of creating a model for metadata management is not new, this model explores relationships which allow the association of information resources at different levels of granularity.

A proposal from the Digital Libraries arena for a bibliographic schema to describe document objects stored in a digital library.
