IESR Metadata Schema
Standard: JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) metadata schema for Collections, Services and Agents.
About the Standard: Within the JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) collections of resources, the technical services that provide access to them and the agents that own collections or administer services are described according to the IESR Application Profile.
Version: The current version is 2.5. A new version will be produced following a metadata review now in progress (summer 2005).
Maturity: This is not a formal standard, but must be used for describing resources in IESR. The Collection description is an extension of the DCMI Collection Description schema (under development) which will also be endorsed by the NISO Metasearch Initiative, and was derived from the RSLP Collection Description Schema. The Service and Agent descriptions are bespoke but use many Dublin Core properties. Connection details for Services use and appropriate standard such as ZeeRex or WSDL.
Risk Assessment: IESR is still a development project. The metadata schema is therefore not yet stable.
SOA Role: IESR is a registry of services, thus central to SOA.
