Proper archiving or later reconstruction and verification of results in data analysis requires thorough logging of all manipulative actions on the data and corresponding parameter settings. Unfortunately such documentation tasks often enforce extensive and error prone manual activities by the user. To overcome these problems we present Alida, an approach for fully automatic documentation of data analysis...
The concepts of sustainability and reusability have great importance in engineering education. In this context, metadata provides reusability and the effective use of Learning Objects (LOs). In addition, searching the huge LO Repository with metadata requires too much time. If the selection criteria do not exactly match the metadata values, it is not possible to find the most appropriate LO. When...
Due to the complexity of spatial data and its application of the professional, and it gives challenges to spatial data processing. In the paper, the characteristics of spatial datum were analyzed, combining with the cooperation behaviors of geographical spatial data, and study on based on an integrated management of multi-source heterogeneous spatial data and content system of space metadata, puts...
Web Services make the efficient uses of the information resources, and the integration and reuse thereof. In the current context of the Web, there are a number of searching methods in use. But all of these are only focusing on the functional aspects, and as a result there are a certain set of limitations that these search methods could not overcome. The purpose of this study is to enhance the web...
Digital identity becomes a valuable asset and protecting it becomes a requirement. Digital identity metadata XML-based scheme is proposed to reduce digital identity risks within digital memories and at information overabundance and strengthen user's control over his identity.
Microsoft Silverlight PivotViewer is a web service architecture that provides fluid access to massive image databases using digital zoom image technology. The Pivot interface models some aspects of human vision, with the ability both to perform a global scan and to rapidly focus on the finest details. The inclusion of many levels of metadata in an XML file makes it possible for clients to rapidly...
The TVA metadata allows consumers to find, navigate, and manage contents through a variety of terminal devices including PDR, DTV, and IPTV. In general, a TVA metadata description is delivered from a content provider to a terminal device over a transport link. Because such metadata description can become very large, it is essential to encode each fragment of the metadata description in a compressed...
The ISO/IEC 23000-4 MPEG-A Part 4: The Musical Slide Show Application Format (MSS AF) standard is a storage format that specifies the synchronization of MP3 audio, Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG) images and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) timed text data in conjunction with the descriptions for image rendering animation using MPEG-4 Lightweight Application for Scene Representation (LASeR)...
There is coexistence of different metadata standards in the field of Earth Science. It causes many challenging difficulties of data Sharing and Management in Earth Science. In order to deal with the problem, a multi-standard compatible metadata framework named "XMCMF" is proposed by extending the tree model and introducing object types, inheritance mechanisms and alias mechanisms. XMCMF...
Long-term repositories that are able to represent the detailed descriptive metadata of scientific data have been recognized as key to both data reuse and preservation of the initial investment in generating the data. Detailed metadata captured during scientific investigation not only enables the efficient discovery of relevant data sets but also is a source for exploring ongoing activity. In XMC Cat...
The XML DOM (Document Object Model) provides a logical view of the in-memory structure. It represents the metadata that has a hierarchical treelike structure consisting of nodes. There are several benefits of implementing the XML DOM as a home management server. First of all, the process time decreases by three times in average sense than using general database. Secondly, it would make to meet with...
This paper proposes the use of a RuleML format rulebase using Reaction RuleML that can be used to support the development of automated web interface. Database metadata can be extracted from system catalogue tables in typical relational database systems, and used in conjunction with the rulebase to produce appropriate web form elements. First results show that this mechanism successfully insulates...
Plug-in frameworks facilitate the development of customizable and extensible software, yet they often lack support for flexible and dynamic (re)configuration. We have created Plux.NET, a novel plug-in framework for plug-and-play composition. In Plux, a composer replaces programmatic composition with automatic composition. Components just specify their requirements and provisions using metadata, and...
Being aimed against to the software reusability and interoperability, we design a metadata-driven information management system. when developing a new application, we can search quickly, locate, and reconstruct on existing IT resources by meta-data description, discovery, mapping and conversion. In the three-tier architecture based on the SSH, we implement B/S model of information management systems...
At present, the Web resources description methods are mainly used for viewing and retrieving text; these methods are not suitable for exchanging and processing mass information. This article describes a Web resources description model based on RDF which encompasses simple semantic information, with this model Web resources could be handled by computer automatically and the utilization of Web resources...
This paper, remote education learning resource for metadata standards that learning resources in the semantic status of the missing, to analyze learning resource metadata,as well as learning resource metadata and ontology integration, combining meta-data ontology with domain ontology to form a learning resource ontology, instantiating the metadata ontology and domain ontology, using IEEE LOM metadata...
Component Based Software development is used for making the software applications quickly and rapidly. In Component Based Development, the software product is build by gathering different components of existing software from different vendors. By using this process cost and time of the software product is reduced. But in testing phase there arises many difficulties for a tester because he has a very...
Researches on data integration, data transformation are made much of with marine data because of its characteristics of polymorphism, multi-sources and great capacity etc. This paper provides an integration system of distributed heterogeneous data based on Web Service-related technology and data-centered model. Considering of the problem of different physical storage of heterogeneous data, this paper...
The recent growing of multimedia in our lives requires an extensive use of metadata for multimedia management. Consequently, many metadata standards have appeared. Using these standards has become very complicated since they have been developed by independent communities. The content and context are usually described using several metadata standards. Accordingly, a multimedia user must be able to...
Relevant data for decision support systems are available everywhere and in various formats. Such data must be integrated into a unified format. Traditional data integration approaches are not adapted to handle complex data. Thus, we exploit the Active XML language for integrating complex data. Its XML part allows to unify, model and store complex data. Moreover, its services part tackles the distributed...
