Metadata Schemas

Metadata Schemas

In Repox, metadata schemas are used to define properties, attributes, and relationships that describe the items in your collections/data. Metadata schemas include, vocabularies, mappings, namespaces, and other structured elements that provide a standardized way to describe and classify your items. Properties and attributes refer to specific characteristics of an item, such as title, author, or date of creation, while schemas define the overall structure and organization of your metadata. Vocabularies are lists of controlled terms and values that provide a consistent way to describe your items, while mappings define how different metadata elements relate to each other. Finally, namespaces provide a unique identifier for each metadata element and ensure that metadata elements from different sources can be distinguished and integrated correctly. By using metadata schemas effectively in Repox, you can ensure accuracy and consistency in your items, and make it easier to search, filter, and analyze your collections/data.
