Core metadata requirements
The initial goal and functionality that the metadata model must support is to enable the users in finding (Findability) and access/requesting (Access, Request) the research resource on the national catalogue.
We collected the metadata requirements in the form of competency queries.
Req category | Example of Competency Question | Candidate Answers |
|---|---|---|
F | What keywords, or topics are there to discover the datasets? | Collect vocabularies and their relations for defining the health research domains (health, clinical, omics, imaging) |
F | What types of research resources can i search for? | Dataset, Distributions, Registries, Bio Samples, Questionnaires, Codes, Protocols, Image collections, |
F | Can user search for datasets based on temporal information? | date published? date range? |
F | What are the comprehensive set of metadata elements to describe research datasets? | dataset characteristics, title, description, theme |
F | Which institution, Research group is the provider of this dataset? | |
F, Reuse | What processes has been done on the dataset? what services can be shared with the dataset? | dataset service, provenance and lineage of the data |
F, Reuse | What are the versions of a dataset? | |
Access | What are the types of accessibility of a dataset, including licensing and access restrictions? | types of license, |
A, Reuse | Can user specify the data format and data distribution methods for requesting the dataset? | distributions |
Reuse | what are the information on how to access and download datasets | |
Joining dataset | Can users discover relationships between different datasets? | |
Reuse | Can I track changes or modifications made to a dataset over time? | |
access/reuse | Can I find information on data usage policies and terms related to a dataset? | |
F, interoperabiltity | Can I find the related resources, such as publications. study, project, services to the dataset? | |
Interoperability | can dataset metadata be integrated with other data catalogs or systems? | |
F/interoperabiltiy | what is the URIs for metadata records (instances) (global unique, persistent and resolvable) | URIs naming conventions for the metadatasets |
F/interoperability | What is URIs for the metadata schemas ? | URIs naming convenstions for the model |
F-Interoperabolity | What schema language is used for formal representing of generic concepts | RDFS, OWL, SKOS, |
F-Interoperabolity | What schema language is used for defining data validating rules, constraints, profilings and … | Shacl |
Given these generic requirements, we collected the core terms, definitions to be used for semantic modelling.
