Nowadays, research data repositories (RDR) have become progressively widespread all over the world. To expand repository services and build up inbound linking strategy, organizations list their repositories with so called Global Registries. Accordingly, such registries should be carefully described by the related data. In this study, I explore the metadata schema of re3data.org. I collect and analyze descriptions from the listed repositories, and come up with some suggestions concerning possible improvements to the metadata schema. To accomplish this, I develop a crawler program, which collects necessary data from the re3data.org. Based on the analysis results, I have identified two issues that required elements is missing, one issue that required element value is missing when the corresponding property is applied, five inconsistency issues with re3data controlled vocabulary, six issues with undescribed optional elements, and two inconsistency issues between the elements and their attributes which do not pair with. I believe this discussion can facilitate improvements to the existing re3data.org schema and further help researchers who analyze data repository trends.

When migrate electronic records, the validation of the required metadata in electronic records and verified with the metadata in the document are also important. This paper presents a method and implements a tool to extract data from files in various formats and use them to validate metadata associated with the files in electronic records. Compared to other metadata extraction tools, especially developed in foreign countries, the standard form of documents used in Korean government is taken into account and metadata is extracted from the content of files. The tool compares the extracted data to encapsulated metadata for validation.

ebXML is a global electronic business standard that is sponsored by UN/CEFACT and OASIS. ebXML is an open XML-based infrastructure enabling the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure and consistent manner by all parties. ebXML Registry provides a stable store where the business information submitted by partners is made persistent and a set of registry services that enable clients of the Registry to access them. These services are tied to the structures defined in ebXML Registry Information Model(ebRIM), so we need a way to process them according to underlying database systems. In this paper, we present the result of developing the ebXML Registry Server based on Relational Database Systems.

It has lately been difficult to share the research outcomes information due to the information system not being compatible with one another. To solve this problem, it is believed that a meta data standard needs to be developed for all the institutions to follow. This paper shows how to make the research outcome of Science and Technology R&D project a standard metadata. We first classified all the research outcome into the following seven groups: Report, Journal article, Presentation material, Book, Dissertation, Industrial rights, and Technology development. We then identified three components that constitute a standard metadata. We employed the Dublin Core Metadata Set and CERIF(Common European Research Information Format) for worldwide interoperability. This Standard can be applied in the following areas: 1) Developing a standard architecture to manage research result within the organization. 2) Designing a conceptual/logical database to measure and evaluate the research outcome. 3) Developing a metadata system for research outcome as a subsystem of an Industrial Technology MDR (Metadata Registry) System.

이 논문에서는 메타데이터 레지스트리간의 메타데이터 교환을 위해 제안된 교환 프로토콜의 장점을 명시적으로 보이기 위한 시뮬레이션 결과에 대하여 기술한다. 기존 접근 방법들은 교환 메커니즘의 높은 복잡도, 지역 메타데이터 관리 시스템으로의 종속성, 새로운 메타데이터 관리 시스템의 추가를 위한 높은 비용 등의 문제점을 지닌다. 이를 해결하기 메타데이터 교환 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 그러나 지금까지의 연구에서는 정성적으로만 그 장점을 보였다. 이 논문의 목적은 정략적 관점에서 제안된 프로토콜의 장점을 기술하고자 함에 있다. 특히 이 논문에서는 질의 효율이 가장 중요한 문제로서 다른 요인에 의한 결과에도 영향을 주기 때문에 질의 효율성 문제에 초점을 둔다. 이를 위해 평가 항목과 평가 모델에 대해 정의한다. 질의 효율성 평가를 위한 요인 중에서 대상 메타데이터의 개수, 각 메타데이터를 구성하는 컴포넌트의 개수 및 각 컴포넌트들을 구성하는 속성들의 개수를 주 파라미터로 이용하였다. 이에 따라 시뮬레이션은 크게 세 가지 유형을 지니게 된다 정량적 평가를 통해 교환 프로토콜이 요구되는 이유와 그 정당성을 명시적으로 보인다.

In this paper, we propose an integrated information retrieval system for distributed multiple KRISTAL-2002 systems by using the metadata information. This system integrates current systems for different areas or systems for the same area with the different schemas so that the users can get the answers by once from the whole systems. The proposed system composes of the Source Server Manager(SSM) supporting the mapping between the integrated metadata database and source server, the Integrated Metadata Manager(ISM) for registering and managing the metadata and schema mapping, the Distributed Query Processor (DQP) for processing the user query into the source server query, the Distributed Data Set Integrated Manager(DDSIM) for transforming the total retrieval results by merging to the HTML format, and the integrated retrieval engine for managing the query results. It is assumed that the integrated metadata follows ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registration procedure with the metadata registry system which is a subsystem of the proposed system. There are two kinds of queries for users; the basic query and the detailed query. The users may select the databases or organizations for results by their own choices before giving the queries. The proposed system has been developed over KRISTAL-2002 systems with $Visual C^{++}\;and\;C^{++}-CGI$ and tested and verified with the six database systems.

While standardization and its applications for registering and sharing information resources about B2B transactions such as business documents are relatively well developed, it is not easy to register and share business process resources because there are many ways to define complex business processes using different specification(definition) languages. In practice, there are several competing business process specification languages applicable under service-oriented architecture (SOA) such as ebXML BPSS, WS-BPEL, BPMN and so on. A systematic way has to be prepared to register/share diverse and heterogeneous specifications represented using those languages. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of sharing B2B business processes by prototyping a business process registry called ebRR4BP. First of all, we designed a metadata ontology to support the registration of diverse B2B business processes. To implement the proposed metadata ontology using ebXML registries, a mapping scheme to ebXML Registry Information Model is also suggested. The ontology and mapping scheme will be a foundation for supporting common interchange of business process metadata among B2B resistries.

To build the consistency among different metadata systems and to increase the interoperability of that systems even among different domains, naming rules and glossaries for the data elements are necessary. This study provides discussion of naming and identification of the data element concept, data element, conceptual domain, value domain, and its meta model. This study also describes example naming conventions based on ontology derived from the combination with object, properties, and representation of data elements. The naming principles and rules described in this study use I-R analysis, DC metadata set, and SHOE 1.0 as an example of the scientific documents. This study would be a guideline to build the naming rules of metadata based on ontology in various domains.

B2B registries provide spaces to register and retrieve information which is necessary to support B2B transactions among business partners or potential business partners. Business process specifications are one of important contents in B2B registries, and there is high complexity of representation due to complex and dynamic characteristics of business processes. Also, currently there exist several competing specification frameworks such as ebXML BPSS, WSBPEL, BPMN, and so on. This paper proposes a metadata schema to register business process specifications which are represented by different specification frameworks. The proposed schema has extensibility to register business process specifications which are represented by various different specification frameworks. Also, it extends reuse level from whole business specification processes to their components. To show the usefulness of the proposed schema, this paper demonstrates metadata extraction from business process specifications which are represented by two representative XML-based business process specification languages, ebXML BPSS and WSBPEL.

Image metadata is used to describe the contents, structures, and features of a given image data. There exist lots of image metadata-related standards. Such image metadata need to be shared to efficiently search the correct images in Web Service-enabled distributed environments. In this thesis, we propose an interoperable system architecture for utilizing image metadata and query extension methods using metadata mapping for correct and efficient image searching. In the proposed methods, the provider schema using non-standard image metadata are mapped into the schema based on the VRA standard, which is used as a basic and intermediary standard in MDR(MetaData Registry). We support mapping operations between the VRA standard and other standards, to reduce the number of unnecessary mapping operations and to enable easier addition of schema based on new standards. Using the proposed query processing methods, which utilize image metadata and overcome their heterogeneity by metadata mapping, it is possible to severely improve the correctness of image retrieval. To show the usefulness of our schemes, we implemented a prototype system and performed retrieval performance evaluation on extended query processing.
