EIF Perspective attributes of Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS)

General information

Name of the solution:

Solution's owner: European Union

Description:

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:

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.
