Abstract

The metadata schema of a digital archive describes the structure and attributes of metadata. Analysis and definition of metadata schema for a new digital archive must be carefully performed at the first stage. To ease the task, we implement a metadata schema repository to store metadata schemas as Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents in a native XML database. The metadata schema repository supports storing, creation, searching, and access management of metadata schemas. A user can access the repository through a Web browser. With this repository, various projects and organizations can share their metadata schemas over the Internet. Since the metadata schema must be displayed on a Web browser, we also present the method of translating the XML representation of metadata schema into the HyperText Markup Language document.
