The ROADS Metadata Registry
This site is the place where ROADS templates can be 'registered', i.e. if there is a need for new templates or new elements in existing templates, they should be added to these pages.
Each template element will be briefly defined here. A set of ROADS 'cataloguing guidelines' are also under development which would allow for the adequate cross-searching of different ROADS-based services and possibly help with ensuring interoperability with other metadata formats.
Any suggestions, please e-mail me at m.day@ukoln.ac.uk.
