RSLP Collection Description

 RSLP   UKOLN

This project worked with other RSLP projects, enabling them to describe their collections in a consistent and machine-readable way. Based on a thorough modelling of collections and their catalogues, the project developed a collection description metadata schema and associated syntax using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). We developed a simple Web-based tool in order that projects can describe their collections.
