A Preliminary Investigation of Metadata Description Mechanisms for Materials Science

Materials Digital Library, Kent State University / Materials Property Data Markup Language (MatML)
provides detailed materials property information necessary
for the exchange of materials science digital resources
among users. Dublin Core (DC) provides a consistent
generic characterization of content important for resource
discovery. The feasibility of reusing detailed information
provided by MatML to supply DC metadata is explored.
Preliminary data gathered from three examples of
materials science resources indicates that MatML tags may
be successfully mapped to DC elements. A prototype webbased
authoring tool designed to assist authors in
generating MatML as well as to map MatML information to
DC elements is discussed.
