This is a Working Draft of NISO Metasearch Initiative Task Group 2
|
| Description of Document: |
This document describes the collection description type vocabulary used by the application profile for collection-level description by the NISO Metasearch Initiative Task Group 2. It is based closely on the Collection Type (CLDType) Vocabulary, developed by the Dublin Core Collection Description Working Group.

The Collection Description Type (cld:CollDescType) Vocabulary provides a set of classes that can be used as values of the dc:type property in descriptions of collections. It allows for the categorisation of collections which are themselves collection descriptions, collections of metadata describing another collection.
All of these classes are defined as subclasses of the more general class dcmitype:Collection; i.e. a statement that a resource is an instance of any of the classes below implies also that the resource is an instance of the class dcmitype:Collection.
A metadata description may include multiple statements referencing the dc:type property, so a single collection may be an instance of several of these classes.
All references to properties and classes in DC metadata descriptions are made using URIs, In this document, Qualified Names of the form prefix ":" local-part are sometimes used as abbreviations for URIs which identify metadata terms. Prefixes are assumed to be associated with Namespace Names (URIs) as follows, and the corresponding URI for the term is constructed by concatenating the Namespace Name and the local-part:

| Definition |
A collection of individual records describing the items, and the intellectual content of those items, of a second collection. There may, in the individual records, be information about collections but that is not the focus of the catalogue. Catalogues are typically created with significant human input. |

| Label | Hierarchic Finding Aid |
| Definition |
A collection of records describing the individual items, and the intellectual content of thos items, of a second collection. The records are firmly grounded within the overall arrangement of the collection, e.g. grouping together all the letters, account books etc. in an ordered sequence or sequences. Items are often not uniquely identifiable when considered in isolation, so the context of the collection is an essential element in compiling the hierarchic finding-aid. Hierarchic finding-aids are typically created with significant human input. |

| Label | Index |
| Definition |
A collection of records consisting of information derived from items in a second collection, regardless of the content of those items. By this is meant that an index - for example a robotic search engine - will index the words in a document (or catalogue record) regardless of their context and without trying to identify the discrete elements of intellectual content contained therein. Indexes are typically generated automatically by a software robot or other harvesting technology. |
