Managing metadata in Fedora 5.x means considering how best to make use of RDF and Linked Data. Fedora 5.x enables RDF properties to be defined for objects it stores or references. This includes all types of metadata, such as technical, rights, provenance, and descriptive.

Fedora 5.x uses a set of internal properties (see see http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository) and supplies the following ontologies by default: Fedora Namespace Registry. It :

fedora:  http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository#
rdfs:  http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#
webac:  http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/webac#
