Repository metadata consistency with RDA recommendations

[mbjones]

The RDA Data Repository Attributes working group is proposing repository metadata attributes to be used in describing repositories (see their Draft Version 5), and these overlap with the ESIP science-on-schema.org guidelines for repository metadata. I did a little crosswalk to see how consistent they are, and I worked up a document for the Arctic Data Center that illustrates usage.

Here's a comparison table of how the ESIP and RDA field lists correspond.

number	label	schema_mapping	esip_recommended	rda_recommended
1	Repository Name	schema:name	TRUE	TRUE
2	URL	schema:url	TRUE	TRUE
3	Country	schema:addressCountry	TRUE
4	Language	schema:inLanguage	TRUE
5	Institution	schema:parentOrganization	TRUE	TRUE
6	Contact	schema:contactPoint	TRUE	TRUE
7	Description	schema:description	TRUE	TRUE
8	Research Area	schema:category	TRUE	TRUE
9	Persistent Identifiers	ex:persistentIdentifiers	TRUE
10	Machine Interoperability	ex:machineInteroperability	TRUE
11	Metadata	ex:metadata	TRUE
12	Curation	ex:curation	TRUE
13	Terms of Deposit	schema:termsOfService	TRUE
14	Terms of Access	ex:termsOfAccess	TRUE
15	Dataset Use License	schema:license	TRUE
16	Certification	schema:credentialCategory	TRUE
17	Preservation Policy	ex:preservationPolicy	TRUE
18	Repository Legal Name	schema:legalName	TRUE
19	Repository Alternate Name	schema:alternateName
20	Repository Logo URL	schema:logo	TRUE
21	Repository Linked Identifier	@id	TRUE
22	Repository Persistent Identifier	schema:identifier	TRUE
23	Repository Equivalent Identifier	schema:sameAs	TRUE
24	Repository Service Provider	schema:provider	TRUE
25	Founding Date	schema:foundingDate	TRUE
26	Funder	schema:funder	TRUE
27	Repository Catalog	schema:hasOfferCatalog	TRUE
28	Repository Address	schema:address	TRUE

And here's a schema.org document for the Arctic Data Center with a union of both sets of fields.

Note that I didn't have good mappings for the following terms, which I placed in the example namespace (ex) for now:

• ex:persistentIdentifiers
• ex:machineInteroperability
• ex:metadata
• ex:curation
• ex:preservationPolicy
• ex:termsOfAccess

Thoughts on whether we should make any changes to be consistent?
