Title

Metadata Editor, Browser and Organiser for IMDI and CMDI

Description

Arbil (Archive Builder) is a metadata editor, browser and organiser for metadata in IMDI and CMDI format. It is a Java desktop application that runs on most operating systems. Arbil can be used to create new metadata from scratch for resources on your local machine, or it can be used to download and modify metadata that are already in an archive. Arbil is a generic CMDI editor and therefore supports all CMDI profiles. It has a built-in file type verification tool that is configured to check files against the list of accepted file types for The Language Arhive, this can however be overruled for other archives.

CMDI Registry/editor

Description

The CMDI Registry/Editor allows metadata modelers and editors to share and reuse CMDI metadata schema or build new ones (partly) based on previous work. CMDI is the metadata framework adopted by CLARIN. Metadata for language resources and tools exists in a multitude of formats. Often these descriptions contain specialized information for a specific research community (e.g. TEI headers for text, IMDI for multimedia collections). To overcome this dispersion CLARIN has initiated the Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI). It provides a framework to describe and reuse metadata components that are pieces of the completemetadata schema. Such components can be grouped into a ready-made description format (a “profile”). Both are stored and shared with other users in the Component Registry to promote reuse. Such metadata profiles (equivalent to a metadata schema) can be used to instantiate metadata descriptions that describe language resources. The CMDI approach combines architectural freedom when modeling the metadata with powerful exploration and search possibilities over a broad range of language resources. The CMDI Registry development was supported by both the Dutch and German national CLARIN projects.

Title

ISOcat

Description

This service is no longer operational! The ISO TC37 Data Category Registry (DCR) was created in 2008 as one of the first ISO standards delivered in the form of a database (ISOcat). The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI) has provided development, hosting, and support services and acted as the Registration Authority (RA) until December 2014. For users from the European CLARIN research infrastructure, the Meertens Institute develops and hosts a new registry for CLARIN relevant concepts based on the corresponding ISOcat data categories, such as those used for the Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI). This can be found here: http://portal.clarin.nl/node/4216. ISO 12620 provides a framework for defining data categories compliant with the ISO/IEC 11179 family of standards. According to this model, each data category is assigned a unique administrative identifier, together with information on the status or decision-making process associated with the data category. In addition, data category specifications in the DCR contain linguistic descriptions, such as data category definitions, statements of associated value domains, and examples. Data category specifications can be associated with a variety of data element names and with language-specific versions of definitions, names, value domains and other attributes. For now the entries of the Data Category Registry are still available in a static manner, i.e., can't be changed anymore. All Data Category Peristent IDentifiers, e.g., http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-4146 (link is external), remain resolvable. The public part of the registry can be browsed via the Guest workspace: http://www.isocat.org/rest/user/guest/workspace . new location for this data category registry is http://www.datcatinfo.net/ .

Title

CMDI to RDF conversion

Description

There is growing amount of on-line information available in RDF format as Linked Open Data (LOD) and a strong community very actively promotes its use. The publication of information as LOD is also considered an important signal that the publisher is actively searching for information sharing with a world full of new potential users. Added advantages of LOD, when well used, are the explicit semantics and high interoperability. But the problematic modelling by non-expert users offsets these advantages, which is a reason why modelling systems as CMDI are used. The CMDI2RDF project aims to bring the LOD advantages to the CMDI world and make the huge store of CMDI information available to new groups of users and at the same time offer CLARIN a powerful tool to experiment with new metadata discovery possibilities. The CMD2RDFservice was created to allow connection with the growing LOD world, and facilitate experiments within CLARIN merging CMDI with other, RDF based, information sources. One of the promises of LOD is the ease to link data sets together and answer queries based on this ‘cloud’ of LOD datasets. Thus in the enrichment and use cases part of the project we looked at other datasets to link to the CLARIN joint metadata domain. We used the WALS N3 RDF dump for one of the use cases. Although it is in the end relatively easy to go from a specific typological feature to the CMD records via a shared URI, it still showcased a weakness of the Linked Data approach. One has to carefully inspect the property paths involved. And in this case the path was broken as there was no clear way to go from the WALS feature data to the WALS language info except for extracting the WALS language code from the feature URI pattern and insert it the language URI pattern. This showcases that although the big LOD cloud shows potential for knowledge discovery by crossing dataset boundaries, design decisions in the individual datasets can still hamper algorithms and manual inspection is needed. The CMD2RDF service was developed at the TLA/MPI for Psycholinguistics and DANS and later moved to Meertens Institute where the expertise remains.

CLARIN Vocabulary Service

Description

The CLARIN Vocabulary Service is a running instance of the OpenSKOS exchange and publication platform for SKOS vocabularies. OpenSKOS offers several ways to publish SKOS vocabularies (upload SKOS file, harvest from another OpenSKOS instance with OAI-PMH, construct using the RESTful API) and to use vocabularies (search and autocomplete using the API, harvest using OAI-PMH, inspect in the interactive Editor or consult as Linked Data). This CLARIN OpenSKOS instance is hosted by the Meertens Institute. Contents This OpenSKOS instance currently publishes SKOS versions of three vocabularies: - ISO-639-3 language codes, as published by SIL. - Closed and simple Data Categories from the ISOcat metadata profile. - A manually constructed and curated list of Organizations, based on the CLARIN VLO. .
