CMDI Examples

Small Example Set

• A toy example:
  • In this example, three components (Text, Photo, Actor) together form a Profile
  • This profile is then used to create the metadata instance (the description of the language resource you get at the end - extension: .cmdi):
    • CMDI 1.1
    • CMDI 1.2 (what's that?)
• A real-world example:
  • A profile (based on the
    ISLE Meta Data Initiative
    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMDI
    set)
  • On the basis of this profile a metadata instance, describing a part of a phonological corpus was made:
    • CMDI 1.1
    • CMDI 1.2.

Large Example Sets

Recently harvested metadata files. This is a full data set, the compressed files add up to several hundred MBs and consists of some hundreds of thousands of records. The full data set is updated with each run of the harvester, usually a number of times per week.

CMDI files harvested from CLARIN centres, (direct access hundreds of thousands)

CMDI-version of the OLAC (meta)dataset harvested by CLARIN (tens of thousands)

CMDI-version of the CLARIN LRT inventory (hundreds)
