The Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) is a specification used to describe reusable solutions, such as data models and specifications, reference data, and open source software. It was created with the help of a working group of experts. On 1 August 2013, W3C published ADMS as a W3C Working Group note.
The Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) implements the following:
Interoperability layers
Conceptual model
Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) implements the following EIF recommendations as explained below:
-
Recommendation 4 | Openness
ADMS is based on open source, hence it helps to promote the usage of open specifications by public administrations.
-
Recommendation 5 | Transparency
ADMS can be used to improve indexing and visibility of own assets.
-
Recommendation 6 | Reusability
ADMS allows public officials working with metadata management to (re-)use or share semantic assets (metadata or reference data).
-
Recommendation 9 | Technological neutrality and data portability
The ADMS data standard can be used by anyone working with metadata management to ensure data portability and interoperability.
-
Recommendation 23 | Interoperability governance
The ADMS data standard can be used by public administrations with the need for a structure approach to metadata management.
-
Recommendation 30 | Semantic interoperability
ADMS contributes to the perception of data as public data by allowing its users to link semantic assets to one another in cross-border and cross-sector settings.
-
Recommendation 31 | Semantic interoperability
ADMS contributes to more efficient management of metadata for public officials.
-
Recommendation 33 | Technical interoperability
ADMS is an open source solution.
-
Recommendation 41 | Open data
ADMS allows for developing and keeping own systems for documenting and storing semantic assets.
-
Recommendation 42 | Open data
ADMS helps to ensure the presence of high quality and machine readable metadata published in non-proprietary formats.
