The SCHEMAS Registry contains several metadata element sets as well as a large number of activity reports which describe and comment on various metadata related activities and initiatives. Work on the SCHEMAS Registry is now being taken forward as part of CORES project.
Via Stephen Downes, who notes that the ‘first – and potentially most useful – bit of work advanced by this project is to create “a simple Web interface for projects and services to self-register their schemas.” The site also has tools and resources to help developers write and use schemas.’
