The description of preserved resources is one of the requirements in digital preservation. The description is generally created in the format of metadata records, and those records are combined to generate information packages to support the process of digital preservation. However, current strategies or models of digital preservation may not generate information packages in efficient ways. To overcome these problems, this research proposed an internal structure of information packages in digital preservation. In order to construct the internal structure, this research analyzed existing metadata standards and cataloging rules such as Dublin Core, MARC, and FRBR to extract the core elements of resource description. The extracted elements were categorized according to their semantics and functions, which resulted in three categories of core elements. These categories and core elements were manifested by using RDF syntax in order to be substantially applied to combine metadata records in digital preservation. Although the internal structure is not intended to create metadata records, it is expected to provide an alternative approach to enable combining existing metadata records in the context of digital preservation in a more flexible way.

Library communities face many problems and limitations in describing alternative format materials based on the traditional MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) structure. To address these problems, this research proposes an XML-based descriptive metadata framework that establishes general but fundamental bibliographic aspects of various alternative format materials by providing core elements that are essential in describing these materials. Different from existing bibliographic structures, the proposed metadata framework can represent a fundamental descriptive structure by establishing four upper-level categories, 17 core elements, and 10 sub-elements in a hierarchical structure optimized to alternative format materials. By using this principal descriptive structure, the proposed metadata framework can guide different institutions in the creation of bibliographic records for these materials in a consistent way. It is also expected to address the difficulties in describing alternative format materials in library communities and enhance the information accessibility of individuals with various types of disabilities. In addition, the proposed metadata framework is an alternative approach which functions as a mediator between heterogeneous characteristics of alternative format materials and the existing bibliographic structures in library communities.

The purpose of this study is to build a metadata set based on the semantic structure of the humanities field research articles for research data that can associate research data and research articles. To understand the interest of Humanities researchers, keywords of research articles were categorized. By proceeding the keywords classification and analyzing based on the semantic structure of general research papers, additional elements to be added were identified for reflecting the characteristics of the humanities field. Based on it, 17 metadata elements based on the semantic structure of research papers in the humanities field was determined. In order to evaluate whether the metadata is appropriate as a metadata for research data in the humanities field, a survey was conducted on researchers in the humanities field. As a result of the survey, 7 elements were judged to be suitable for use as metadata for research data in the field of humanities, and 10 other elements were identified as usable elements. Drawing on the survey results, the metadata based on the semantic structure of the humanities field research articles for research data was constructed.

It is necessary to resolve the syntax, structure and semantic heterogeneity for sharing information resources. And the representative technologies are XML and Metadata. XML has been used to represent the syntax and structure, and metadata has been used to represent the semantic meaning of information resources. However, various metadata sets in one or more domains that have been developed by each independent organizations without any standards or guidelines, make it difficult to share their information resource. In this paper, we propose an interoperability framework (FSMI, Framework for Sharable Metadata Interoperability) on MDR (Metadata Registry) to increase the interoperability of XML encoded information resources between systems using different metadata sets.

This study aims to develope a scholarly metadata information system based on conceptual elements of text structure of Korean studies research articles and to identify the applicability of text structure based metadata as compared with the existing similar system. For the study, we constructed a database(Korean Studies Metadata Database, KMD) with text structure based on metadata of Korean Studies journal articles selected from the Korea Citation Index(KCI). Then we verified differences between KCI system and KMD system through search results using same keywords. As a result, KMD system shows the search results which meet the users' intention of searching more efficiently in comparison with the KCI system. In other words, even if keyword combinations and conditional expressions of searching execution are same, KMD system can directly present the content of research purposes, research data, and spatial-temporal contexts of research et cetera as search results through the search procedure.

This study presents a database quality evaluation framework. As a way to build a framework, this study expands data quality management to include data transformation processes as well as data. Further, an information structure graph is applied to represent data transformations processes. An information structure graph is absed on a relational database scheme. Thus, data transformation processes may be stored in a relational database. This kind of integration of data transformation metadata with technical metadata eases evaluation of database qualities and their causes.

The purpose of this paper is to develop the metadata on the information of research result in Science and technology and to design the domain knowledge structure using semantic web technology for further implementation. In this paper, we first analyze the existing theories and techniques related to the metadata in such fields as R&D research result, international standard, and semantic web. Then, we extract and group the relevant factors from Dublin Core, CERIF, and the research results for building the integrated metadata framework. Based on our proposed metadata, we design a domain knowledge structure which employs RDF/RDFS as knowledge representation tool. Therefore, we can implement the ontology which produce the 'intelligent' information service and improve the interoperability between the research institutions. Also, the metadata can be used as the basis for developing National R&D Performance Information, and in terms of research institutions, can be used as tools for managing the their own research results information systematically and consistently.

As the usage of information resources produced in various media and forms has been increased, the importance of metadata as a tool of information organization to describe the information resources becomes increasingly crucial. The purposes of this study are to analyze and to demonstrate the intellectual structure in the field of metadata through co-word analysis. The data set was collected from the journals which were registered in the Core collection of Web of Science citation database during the period from January 1, 1998 to July 8, 2016. Among them, the bibliographic data from 727 journals was collected using Topic category search with the query word 'metadata'. From 727 journal articles, 410 journals with author keywords were selected and after data preprocessing, 1,137 author keywords were extracted. Finally, a total of 37 final keywords which had more than 6 frequency were selected for analysis. In order to demonstrate the intellectual structure of metadata field, network analysis was conducted. As a result, 2 domains and 9 clusters were derived, and intellectual relations among keywords from metadata field were visualized, and proposed keywords with high global centrality and local centrality. Six clusters from cluster analysis were shown in the map of multidimensional scaling, and the knowledge structure was proposed based on the correlations among each keywords. The results of this study are expected to help to understand the intellectual structure of metadata field through visualization and to guide directions in new approaches of metadata related studies.

Metadata and folksonomy are two main approaches in representing, organizing, and retrieving resources in the current information environment. Many researches have conducted studies to combine of metadata and folksonomy in order to utilize the strengths of both approaches. This research proposed an approach to utilize both metadata and folksonomy in representing resources by using microcontents. Microcontents in this research is a conceptual structure that reflects dynamic characteristics of folksonomy and the structure of metadata. By connecting folksonomy with metadata through this microcontents structure, both approaches can maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses in representing, organizing, and retrieving resources.

Today, as the number of audio files submitted as legal evidence increases with the proliferation of smartphones, the integrity of audio files has become an important issue. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explore whether the metadata and file structure of audio files recorded on Samsung smartphones can be manipulated to be identical to the original. This study was based on Samsung smartphones, the most widely used in Korea, and conducted experiments on the built-in voice recording app and the 'Easy Voice Recorder' app, which is the most popular recording app. Through the experiments of this study, it was proven that the metadata and file structure of audio files can be manipulated. Therefore, this study reveals that metadata and file structure analysis have limitations in proving the integrity when audio files are analyzed for adoption as legal evidence. They also argue for the need to develop new voice file forgery technology that does not rely on metadata and file structure analysis.
