SERES Main Features • System for description and administration of metadata for public information • Basis for efficient creation and maintenance of web services and web portals for electronic services • Common metadata repository operated through a number of web-application clients • Repository structured by a common meta-model • All models contained in separate domains relating to public authority • Some core metadata will be common for all. Efficient and Effective eGovernment - SERES, Håkon Olderbakk
SERES Meta-model • The SERES meta-model is based on that of OMG-based UML Class diagrams, customised into a number of model levels: • Semantics level:Concepts (terms and definitions), concept categoriesand semantic relationships between concepts • Structure level:Reusable data structures, where each element is annotated to concepts • Implementation level:Practically used data structures created from general structures and permanently pointing to these for later possible updates, these data being the basis for creating services • The meta-model will be extended with elements describing processes and rules/calculations. Efficient and Effective eGovernment - SERES, Håkon Olderbakk
SERES metadata handling • Metadata will be identified or captured using both • Top-down processesBasis for employing common, harmonised metadata for practical purposes • Bottom-up processesBasis for harvesting metadata already being used, later to be candidates for harmonisation Efficient and Effective eGovernment - SERES, Håkon Olderbakk
