OASIS OpenDocument Metadata
Michael Brauer, GullFOSS Blog

The OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee in its meeting this Monday
[2006-10-09] has approved the OpenDocument Metadata Use Cases and
Requirements document, which is the first deliverable of the
OpenDocument Metadata Subcommittee. The document includes representative
use cases and requirements for enhancing OpenDocument's metadata
support, and it additionally lists a couple of design goals and
requirements. It will be the basis for the future work of the metadata
subcommittee, and therefore provides an outlook in which direction
OpenDocument moves regarding metadata. And because OpenDocument is
OpenOffice.org's native and default file format, I'm sure it also
provides an outlook in which direction OpenOffice.org may move. I
recommend reading the document to everyone who is interested in
metadata. [The enhanced metadata proposal consists of four parts: (1)
Metadata Model and Syntax: OpenDocument supports a subset of the
RDF model and XML syntax to provide a metadata framework with robust
and predictable extensibility, and easily processed with standard RDF
and XML tools. (2) Associating Metadata with Document Content. (3)
Metadata Extension Modules. (4) Identifying Document Fragments and
Metadata Collections: defining a convention to identify document
content and metadata graphs by IRIs, which allows them to be
referenced externally, and for additional metadata to be added to the
named graphs.]
