XDS Metadata specifications
This site is used to host discussions concerning metadata recommendations for UK usage of XDS and related protocols.
Meetings
The initial telephone conference was held on Thursday 5th June 2014 at 14:00 - see Metadata Meeting 5-6-14 for transcript, attendance and conclusions.
It is proposed that t'cons be held fortnightly, and a Doodle poll is being used to assess the best part of the week to use - please indicate your availability here: http://doodle.com/i8hvtpeuhxrtm2tm
Proposed and existing schemas
We are trying to gather together as many ideas and thoughts as possible, so that nothing is accidentally forgotten. If you have any schemas which you wish to add yourself, feel free add them to this list, either by uploading or via an external link:
- Dave Harvey's "straw man" suggestions
- Neelam Dugar's Doncaster specification as .doc or as .pdf
- Sintero Guidance
- Tim Benson's guidance
- XDS-I Metadata requirements
- Canada XDS-I Implementation Guide, for reference
- Although the XDS-I rules are not a full metadata specification, the constraints they place on imaging metadata need to be considered if specifications for imaging and other documents are to be consistent. See section 4.68.4.1.2.3 within that document for details.
Discussions

For now, there is just one simple page on "open issues" (mainly those made a comments on the straw man suggestions), but this could split into more specialized topic pages if necessary:
