Metadata Mapping and Application Profiles. Approaches to providing the Cross-searching of Heterogeneous Resources in the EU Project Renardus Neuroth, Heike Koch, Traugott Renardus Application Profile Namespace Metadata Mapping Processes Collection Level Description Subject Gateway This paper present the approach and results of a mapping process to define a common metadata format for cross-searching distributed and heterogeneous subject gateways in the EU project Renardus. The outcome in Renardus is a well defined data model with semantic and syntactical definitions of each metadata element. It results in richer and semantically controlled cross-searching. The metadata elements are mainly based on Dublin Core, some further elements and qualifiers are defined in Renardus namespaces. A collection level description schema has also been developed to allow a well structured description of each participating gateway. A Renardus application profile is under development. The Renardus experience and some of its solutions may well be a good basis for similar interoperability efforts.
