Metadata

last modified on Jun 22, 2023

This page currently collects information on TextGrid's metadata scheme and concept.

Overview

• The chapter The Logical View of the architecture overview document contains a high-level view on the metadata concept.
• Metadata Cheatsheet illustrating which fields are where
• The User's Manual illustrates how to work with metadata from the TextGridLab, cf.:
  • The chapter on the Metadata Editor
  • Description of the logical model: TextGrid Objects

Mappings and specifications

• Here is a large Excel sheet that contains all metadata fields including mappings to the metadata standards TEI header, Dublin Core and MODS.
• The canonical form for TextGrid's metadata is XML as specified by the schema at https://textgrid.info/namespaces/metadata/core/2010. This schema, together with its components, is maintained in a git repository at https://gitlab.gwdg.de/dariah-de/textgridrep/textgrid-metadata.
• TextGrid Metadata to TEI header:
  • The metadata editor contains an XSLT stylesheet that generates a TEI header for an object from a set of TextGrid metadata records. The input of the stylesheet is the concatenation of the metadata records that make up the path to the object (ask TG-search for that), i.e. the aggregations/editions/works/collections the object is contained in.

TODO

• Generated schema doc – is this useful?
• What of the very detailed Metadatenprofil documentation needs to be ported (and in which form?)
  • Most of this information is in uebersicht-ebenen_v2.xls
