  1. eGovernance Metadata Model for India Dr. A.R.D. Prasad Documentation Research & Training Centre Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore

  2. Contents • What is eGovernance • Why metadata in eGovernance • Some International eGovernance Information Models • Roadmap to eGovernance Metadata & Data Standards in India

  3. eGovernance is … • … the process of using information technology for automating both the internal operations of the government and its external interactions with citizens and other businesses • … outreaching government services to the citizens using ICT

  4. Purpose of Metadata • Description about information objects/assets or services • Makes the contentfindable & manageableby computers • Information processing becomes easier for the computer systems

  5. Why Metadata in eGovernance? • Metadata standard can be used to classify and categorize Govt. information and services • Allows identification of services and information intelligently • Inter-departmental information exchange becomes easier • Increases the visibility and accessibility of Govt. services over the Internet

  6. Metadata Standards for eGovernance • E-GMS (E-Government Metadata Standard): United Kingdom • AGLS (Australian Government Locator Service) Metadata Set: Australia • NZGLS (New Zealand Government Locator Service): New Zealand • GILS (Government Information Locator Service): United States

  7. eGovernment Services in New Zealand • Metalogue (metadata repository) • Portal News Feeds (News syndication) • Authentication (Online authentication service) • Shared Workspace (Online collaboration tool) • Government Intranet (All-of-Government Online Information Repository)

  8. Roadmap to eGov Metadata & Data Standards Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  9. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  10. Evaluation of … • Element set • Metadata descriptors • Administrative • Technical • Preservation • Structural • Vocabulary control mechanism • Metadata management

  11. Evaluation of International Metadata Standards • Purpose: • Identification of common element set • Comparison with Indian eGovernance service requirements • Analysis of level of description • Analysis of localization issues

  12. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  13. Identification of Element Set • Generic element set • Encoding schemas for element values • Qualifiers • Recordkeeping metadata set • Application profiles • Domain specificity • Internationalization & localization

  14. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  15. Controlled Vocabulary: Ontology/ Taxonomy • Compilation of terminology list for each service domain • Useful at data input and search stage • Service specific vocabulary • Domain specific vocabulary

  16. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  17. XML Schema • Representation of Metadata in XML • XML Schema for … • Service description • Content description (Information objects) • XML Schema Library (collection of XML Schemas for all kind of services)

  18. XSLT • Transformation of XML metadata into human readable form (i.e. HTML) • Service specific XML transformations

  19. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  20. Data Standards • Author name format • Personal information • Address information • Date/Time format • Organizational information • Financial Information … and many more

  21. Roadmap to Metadata & Data Standard Metadata Interoperability Framework Data Standards XML Schema and XSLT for domain specific services Controlled Vocabulary Identification of Metadata Elements for Indian context Start Evaluation of International Metadata Standards

  22. Metadata Interoperability Framework • Ensuring interoperability between various government services from diverse domains

  23. What should be Identified • The government departments (source) • The end-users (target) • Government departments • NGOs • Citizens • Information needs of the end-users • Information services to be provided to the end-users

  24. What should be identified... • Identification of the information sources • What type of information / documents • GOs, correspondence, reports etc. programmes etc • Metadata that best describes the information and consequently enables to provide information services • Ontology that enables to classify (categorize) documents and exposes the relations across documents and information for inferencing

  25. Technology Back-end • Digital Library/ DBMS • Metadata (DC, GILS, METS etc. • Ontology (RDF, OWL) • OAI-PMH for interoperability and harvesting • Artificial Intelligence (knowledge base and inference engine) • Content Management System ( for each govt. dept. portal)

  26. Summary • Metadata element set • Data standards • Metadata Interoperability Framework • Semantic Interoperability

  27. Thank You • Questions • Comments • Suggestions Dr. A.R.D. Prasad ard@drtc.isibang.ac.in
