Metadata/Cataloguing Tools

This page brings together a summary of known metadata tools used for creating metadata for various types of resources. It includes tools for entering and editing metadata, and utilities for processing, extracting, validating, and viewing metadata. Some of these tools allow for metadata to be served up in different formats, such as XML, RDF, XHTML, ISO2709 etc. Some tools are based on established metadata standards while others produce metadata based specifically on local application profiles.

Available tools are:

WebAGRIS
Owner/ Creator:	Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Description:	WebAGRIS is a complete, multilingual Web-based system for distributed data input, processing and dissemination (through the Internet or on CD-Rom), of agricultural bibliographic information. WebAGRIS also allows to link to documents that are available in electronic format. It is based on common standards of data input (meta-data standard, data structure), and dissemination formats (export formats, such as XML, HTML, ISO2709, etc.), as well as subject categorization schema and thesauri, i.e. AGROVOC.

AgMES Metadata Tool
Owner/ Creator:	Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Description:	The AgMESMeta tool creates AgMES-compliant metadata for webpages and other document-like resources. Once you are satisfied with the content of each element, cut and paste the generated metadata in the <head> section of your HTM(L) file. The tool also allows you to harvest existing metadata from a webpage for further editing.

Metamaker
Owner/ Creator:	Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Description:	The “Metamaker” is a tool designed to create Dublin Core and AgMES compliant metadata. The tool allows the user to create metadata from scratch using a simple web form and save it in different formats (HTML, XHTML, XML, RDF or AGRIS AP). It also offers to extract metadata from existing web pages or local html files. The user can then edit this metadata in the web form and, if it is intended for a website, cut and paste the generated HTML or XHTML metadata in the <head> section of the HTM(L) file. Help for each element can be accessed by clicking the element name. Frequently used controlled vocabularies (AGROVOC and AGRIS categories) are incorporated into the tool to allow for standardized description of the subject.

DC.DOT
Owner/ Creator:	UK Office for Library and Information Networking (UKOLN)
Description:	This service retrieves a Web page and automatically generates Dublin Core metadata, either as HTML <meta> tags or as RDF/XML, suitable for embedding in the <head>...</head> 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.
