AlgoViz Metadata

Submitted by Monika on 29 April 2011 – 12:02pm

Want to add AlgoViz to your collection? Getting metadata from AlgoViz has never been easier. We now have two OAI Data Provider (OAI-DP) feeds for the AlgoViz catalog.

OAI -DP following the Dublin Core metadata standard

http://beckham.cc.vt.edu/cgi-bin/algo-oai/OAI-XMLFile-2.1/XMLFile/algo/oai.pl (metadata preﬁx = oai_dc)

This feed includes all the catalog entries (more than 500 of them).

The ﬁelds for each entry includes: identiﬁer (AlgoViz url), subject (topic), title, description, format, rights, language, creator, publisher, relation (e.g., stand-alone, part of a project) and date. The ﬁeld ‘description’ may appear 3-times for each entry: one containing the actual description data of that catalog entry, one containing the ‘Evaluation’ of the catalog entry if available (the data for this ﬁeld starts with “Evaluation :”), and the last one contains part of the “Recommendation” ﬁeld.
