Abstract

<p>As existing data become more accessible to more users, associated metadata that inform researchers about the data contents are often not annotated. For example, Field Server data directly shared from local storage have been published on Field Server Data Storage <http://fsds.dc.affrc.go.jp/> with insufficient metadata. This study addressed the metadata design for these Field Server data and attempted to integrate directory structure information into metadata. In doing so, the Field Server Data were made more informative and comprehensive, and the amount of metadata description was reduced. By precisely encoding semantic relationships between the data items using Resources Description Framework and registering them in representative catalog sites, the data discoverability and usability would be improved. In addition, by classifying data using this directory structure, data publishing would be simplified.</p>
