Metadata Collection Records for Language Resources
Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2018)
Abstract
In this paper we motivate the need for introducing more elaborate and consistent metadata records for collections of (linguistic) data resources in the CLARIN context. For this purpose we designed and implemented a CMDI profile. We validated the profile in a first pilot in which we populated the profile for 45 Dutch language resources. Given the complexity of the profile and special purpose requirements we developed our own interface for creating, editing, listing, copying and exporting descriptions of metadata collection records. The requirements for this interface and its implementation are described.
