[This is a starter for metadata recommendations in Fedora 5.x.]
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.
The Samvera Community has developed metadata recommendations, including mapping recommendations for objects currently defining metadata using XML. Fedora 5.x does not require many ontologies [add page for required Fedora 5.x ontologies], and it is possible to include and use any ontology that exists, although it is recommended to use ontologies that are shown to be actively and well-maintained for longevity purposes. The following are specific metadata recommendations from the Samvera Community that can be used in Fedora 5.x:
- Technical Metadata Application Profile
- Rights Metadata Recommendation
- Referring to segments of a file - Recommendation
The following are works in progress and additional recommendations for finding appropriate ontologies to use:
