Open Government Metadata Application Profile
Category: IM Keywords: metadata, open information, open government portal, virtual library, government documents, government publications, government information, application profile

Description of Standard

This is the Metadata Application Profile for the Government of Alberta's (GoA) Open Government Portal. It documents the set of metadata properties and encoding schemes that must be used to describe resources on the GoA Open Government Portal. Its purpose is to assist website developers, content creators and the specialists in ministries and other organizations that create and manage the records in the content management system that populates the site.

Standard Specification

Records in the Open Government Portal will contain two levels of metadata

Resource-level metadata – applies to the entire resource being described by the catalogue record. The resource itself may consist of one or more component parts; that is, one or more files, or “items” may make up the resource being described. Possible scenarios include:
- One file, in one format, that contains the entire resource.
- The resource in its entirety is released in multiple file formats.
- The resource is released in multiple parts, such as chapters of a book.
- The resource is released serially, and each release is a separate file.
- A combination of the above. For example, a serial resource may be issued with multiple formats for each issue.
Item-level metadata – applies only to the individual component (file) to which it is attached.
