Metadata in the DRM

• Metadata in the DRM comes in 2 "flavors" - information about transmittal content designed purely for human users, and summary information that can also be used by consuming software.

• The first variety corresponds to the ISO metadata standard.

  • <Access>
  • <Responsible Party>

• The second variety consists of the "summary" classes, which can be used to summarize the contents of a transmittal in a form that can be understood by a consuming application as well as by human readers.

  • <Transmittal Summary>
  • <Environmental Domain Summary>
