Abstract
Metadata application profiles (MAP) serve a critical role in the of metadata interoperability. Singapore framework recommends publishing the application profiles as documentation, with detailed usage guidelines aimed to maximize reusability and interoperability. Authoring, maintenance, versioning, and ensuring the availability of previous versions along with changelogs are vital steps involved in MAP publishing. The longevity of the schema is a critical part of metadata longevity. MAP should provide sufficient administrative information and versioning to ensure the provenance and longevity as a record of changes of the metadata instance. The authors propose to include actionable changelogs and provenance information within an extensible MAP authoring format. The proposal also includes a recommendation on MAP versioning and publishing with PAV, a lightweight ontology for Provenance, Authoring, and Versioning.
