Technical Metadata

File Information Tool Set (FITS)

•  Developed by Nick Ruest - automatic technical metadata extraction

•  Stored using user-defined DSID in FITS XML format

•  Potential to crosswalk to other schemas and develop form for editing/displaying technical metadata

Structural Metadata

•  FOXML - managed and inline datastreams (extended METS)

•  RDF - using Fedora's reserved RELSEXT datastream (extension to use literals for page numbers)

Administrative Metadata

•  Manual Entry •  Fedora's AUDIT datastream •  AUDIT API: on the wishlist for Fedora

Futures Project

Status of Batch Editing Metadata

•  cURL and other back-end scripts •  Problems with a generic approach •  Can use Solr to find objects with fields that

need to be edited

Indexing Metadata

•  Gert Schmeltz's GSearch •  Default xslt that can be modified

o  :8080/fedoragsearch/rest (what gsearch will pass to solr documents, what's being indexed, manually update total index or individual objects by PID)

o  :8080/solr/admin

•  Configurable Interface

User Administration Screens

Place Search Blocks
