ORA data model 2.4
- Documentation:
-
ORA (Oxford University Research Archive) is the University of Oxford's instiutional respository. ORA holds a large number of diverse research-related objects and their metadata, such as journal articles, patents, monographs, and technical reports. The ORA Data Model is a formal definition of the descriptive and administrative metadata of objects in the ORA system. It describes the metadata's structure, naming conventions, authority schemes, and basic validation criteria.
The Data Model is intended to describe data that is expressed in many different ways, including XML, linked data, and JSON. By providing a common terminology for the base set of fields, the model aims to allow for a single common platform for services that have previously (for ORA) been disparate. The model also uses documentation and convention to define authority schemes and URIs, instead of including these within the data model itself. This avoids a great deal of technical complexity, allowing the Data Model to be easily understandable (and editable) by both technical and non-technical repository staff.
The Data Model applies to metadata managed within many different internal systems. Within ORA, it applies to ORA's own Hyrax, Fedora, Solr and Blacklight systems. It is also the basis of ORA's SWORD2 and OAI-PMH API services, which interact with other providers and consumers of the repository's metadata, including the University of Oxford's installation of Symplectic Elements (developed in conjunction with Research Services collegues and Symplectic Ltd. (now Digital Science).
It is therefore technology and implementation agnostic. While it contains some fields that are specific to the University of Oxford, we hope that the majority of the Data Model will be relevant to similar repositories and institutions. We welcome feedback on the data model. Correspondence address for questions or comments on the model should be sent to: [email protected]
