Metadata schema

D2.3 (result of T2.2) will consist of the metadata schema and a report. The schema, to be delivered in the form of XSD and RDF/OWL, will cater for the description of all resources and entities envisaged by ELG. It will build upon the META-SHARE schema (and its profiles) and the model of LT-World. Its specification will be based on D2.1, on the technical requirements for achieving interoperability and execution of services (T2.5) as well as on legal considerations for accessing resources (T5.4). The design of the schema will be modular (per resource type), flexible and aiming at standardisation (deploying controlled vocabularies, especially the widely accepted ones). The schema will include mappings to popular schemas and schemas used by the partners and initiatives that will share their resources with ELG.
