Towards a harmonization of metadata application profiles for agricultural learning repositories
Résumé
Metadata interoperability allows the exchange and preservation of crucial learning and teaching information, as well as its future reuse among a large number of different systems and repositories. This paper introduces work around metadata interoperability that has taken place
in the context of the Agricultural Learning Repositories Task Force (AgLR-TF), an
international community of the stakeholders that are involved in agricultural learning
repositories. It particularly focuses on a review and assessment of metadata application profiles that are currently implemented in agricultural learning repositories. The results of this study can
be found useful by who are designing, implementing and operating agricultural learning repositories, facilitating thus metadata interoperability in this application field.
