  1. Metadata Development for the SANREM Knowledge Base Conrad HeatwoleBiological Systems Engineering Virginia Tech

  2. Overall goal … • Provide a structure for organizing, storing, and disseminating materials generated by SANREM – past and future • Organize existing resources • Provide consistency in cataloging • Provide a stable archive • Support easier and broader dissemination of SANREM knowledge

  3. Bridging project objectives • Develop a metadata template for SANREM • Catalog resources from SANREM I & II phases • Develop instruction guide for metadata entry

  4. Metadata design goals • Long-term value • Portable • Searchable • Standard data elements • Standardized vocabulary

  5. Metadata • Common metadata… • Title • Authors • Year published • Publisher • Keywords • Summary/abstract • URL …. • SANREM specific… • Landscape system • Project location • Language • Alternative title • Format • Type of resource • Project ID .…

  6. Developing Metadata template • Started with “Dublin Core” • Standardized structure and nomenclature for elements: Title, Creator, … • Developed initially for common HTML coding • Provides longevity to this database • Added SANREM-specific elements • Followed Dublin Core notation • Defined “controlled vocabularies” • Landscape systems • Keywords

  7. SANREM phase I & II resources • Over 900 files … over 2 gigabytes • Process • Review and select materials to catalog • Enter metadata • Review and cross-check entries • Results: • Over 400 items selected and entered • Resources stored in the database when available

  8. Project team PIs: • Conrad Heatwole • Margaret Merrill (Librarian) • Brian Benham • Gene Yagow • Staff: • Melissa Obenhaus (library cataloger) • 2 Undergraduate students • Graduate student

  9. SANREM I & II resources cataloged • Journal Articles (68 records) • SANREM Conference Presentations (54 records) • Book Chapters (62 records) • Books (32 records) • Research Briefs (36 records) • Proceedings (4 records) • Working Papers (29 records) • Annual Reports (5 records) • Conference Papers (45 records) • Conference Presentations (96 records) • Theses and Dissertations (6 records) • Research Reports (14 records)

  10. Status • Metadata structure defined • Input program developed • Search/access page developed • SANREM I & II materials cataloged • Metadata guide developed (Ver.1) … Need feedback for refinement
