| DC-dot | This service will retrieve a Web page and automatically generate Dublin Core metadata, either as HTML tags or as RDF/XML, suitable for embedding in the ... section of the page. The generated metadata can be edited using the form provided and converted to various other formats (USMARC, SOIF, IAFA/ROADS, TEI headers, GILS, IMS or RDF) if required. Optional, context sensitive, help is available while editing. | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcdot/ | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcdot/ | 2000-10-31 | |
| DC-assist | DC-assist is a small, flexible help utility for metadata applications and is intended to complement the help pages embedded within existing software. Start DC-assist up once at the beginning of your session for quick and easy access to a set of help pages that provide: element and qualifier definitions, comments, examples, links to further information. | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcassist/ | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcassist/ | 2000-10-31 | |
| NOVAGate | We are a ROADS thing, covering the forestry, veterinary, agricultural, food and environmental sciences, and thereabouts. The project is a collaborative effort between the 5 nordic countries' agricultural and veterinary libraries (8 in all), covering at the moment only Nordic resources, but expanding soon to extra-nordic as well. Sweden is the db manager, Norway conduct evaluations, Finland do training and produce our web guide for cataloguing, and in Denmark we do the interface and marketing. | http://novagate.nova-university.org/ | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/mailing-lists/ukoln-external-open/imesh-workshop/0008.html | 2000-10-31 | |
| CEDARS | Recent years have seen a massive increase in the range and volume of digital information resources, and their acquisition by libraries. In the UK there is as yet no formal mechanism for the long-term preservation of this material. There is a pressing need for a strategy for digital preservation which addresses both the urgency of rapidly obsolete technologies , the current economic situation as well as the complex intellectual property rights issues which arise from work in this area. The Cedars Project provides an invaluable opportunity for research libraries and other stakeholders in the UK to explore digital archiving in some depth. | http://www.leeds.ac.uk/cedars/ | http://www.leeds.ac.uk/cedars/documents/MGA04.htm | 2000-10-31 | |

| ULIS-DL | ULIS-DL works as a subject gateway to information resources in the areas of library and information science, information medea study and other related subjects. ULIS-DL provides Metadata of resources on the internet concerned with library and information science, information media study, libraries and information centers in the world. Digital resources such as results of original research of the University, important and valuable materials for research and education in the fields of library and information science or information media study. The core part of the ULIS DL is the collection of metadata created from WWW-based information created by libraries and LIS-related institutions mainly in Japan, i.e., a subject gateway to Japanese library information. The metadata scheme for the ULIS DL is based on Dublin Core and has a small extention. | http://lib.ulis.ac.jp/ | http://lib.ulis.ac.jp/guide/guide-e.html | 2000-10-31 | |
