Each

Component Metadata Infrastructure

files exists of 3 parts:

• a (fixed) Header, containing administrative information:
  • MdCreator: the author of the file
    • e.g. "Eric Carlson"
  • MdCreationDate: the creation date of this file
    • e.g. "2016-12-31"
  • MdSelfLink: the URL or Persistent Identifier of this file
    • e.g. "https://www.institute.org/metadata/record.cmdi" or "hdl:1234/00-1234-5678-9ABC" (alternatively "https://hdl.handle.net/1234/00-1234-5678-9ABC")
  • MdProfile: the unique identifier of a CMDI profile, as generated by the component registry
    • e.g. "clarin.eu:cr1:p_1290431694484"
  • MdCollectionDisplayName: an (optional but recommended) plain text indication to which collection this file belongs. Used for the Collection facet in the
    Virtual Language Observatory
    See: http://www.clarin.eu/vlo
• a (fixed) Resources section, containing links to:
  • external files (e.g. an annotation file or a sound recording)
  • and/or other CMDI metadata files (to build hierarchies)
• a (flexible) Components section, where the actual components that this profile contains will appear

This example CMDI file illustrates the use of the 3 parts.
