Metadata Recommendations

Metadata Recommendations#

CDIF recommendations to support basic resource discovery on the World Web fall into three groups:

  1. A Content model that specifies the information expected to be included in any metadata record, with required, recommended and optional content items.

  2. A JSON-LD serialization for that content using the Schema.org vocabulary to define the fields in a metadata record, and an implementation using the DCAT rdf vocabulary

  3. Workflows to publish CDIF metadata so that is can be found and indexed by search providers using standard web technology
