Integrated Application of Metadata and OAI-PMH to Digital News Archive (Article written in Chinese)

Sinn-Cheng LIN & Pei-Shiun KANG

Abstract

This paper studies the metadata integration problem between the Taiwan Baseball News Database and the Union Catalog of National Digital Archives Program. First, we design a metadata transformation system which can transform the news articles to four popular metadata formats: DC, NITF, RSS and DAC. The system not only supports metadata transformation but also RSS subscription and batch exportation for Union Catalog. Secondly, based on the OAI-PMH architecture, the digital news archives plays a role as Repository, and then we extend the system to be a Data Provider. It can be queried by any Service Provider, parse the Verbs, and then respond the Record Sets to the Service Provider with certain metadata format. As a result, the digital news can be delivered more efficient.

Keywords: digital archive; metadata; makeup language; union catalog; OAI-PMH
