Metadata and Open Standards

April 2, 2013 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Metadata and Open Standards

Colectica has announced that Statistics Denmark is adopting Colectica metadata software to support managing and describing their data, all using open standards.

This interesting new was brought to us by Beaumont Enterprise in their article, “Statistics Denmark Adopts Colectica’s Data Documentation Software Platform.” Colectica and Statistics Denmark are also announcing a set of collaborations for new metadata management user interfaces and  integration of several metadata standards.

Metadata makes digital content findable. However, findability works only when a proper taxonomy is in place. Proper indexing against a strong standards-based taxonomy increases the findability of data. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies.
