Hi all, Apologies for the xpost .. but sort of relevant to both repository implementations (at least for me).
We are currently using DSpace (moving to latest version soon). I have a general high level type metadata question and did not know where else to post, so here goes. (perhaps someone can point me to a better list) We have a largish (in our terms) project that involves map data or rather (.sid) images[1] produced from said map data. We currently have an in-house application that catalogs these images and stores some crazy 90 field metadata info within it. My question is what is the best way (read any way) to handle getting this content into dspace (or fedora commons) in an intelligent manor. My understanding is that dspace and fedora use the dc-metadata standard to search, catalog, and provide a common way for libraries and repository software get at content. Would this additional metadata get in the way with operation? Would it be best to create dc records for each item and then augment the dc info with this complete additional metadata set in a new type of metadata (not in the dc)? Is there a common standard for map type metadata? (USGS?) Any help pointers appreciated.. [1] images are 'Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database' files from what I gather. Related to ArcGIS, ERDAS software.. ------ thanks kevin.foote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
