Digital objects – storage, delivery and reuse

The development of a methodology and tools for an automatic extraction of metadata for digital objects deployed in various subject repositories is a potential research issue. This paper presents a general overview of topics concerning the building of repositories and the applied metadata schemas with respect to the objectives of METASPEED project. The main goal of this project is to investigate and create technologies, methods and tools for automatic generation of metadata thus facilitating the proper specification of documents with different e-format, content and location.
