Task #1861
Story #1859: Review and add missing ObjectFormat types listing
add ERC schema to the list of acceptable ObjectFormats
100%
Description
ERC is a metadata standard, proposed here:
We need to add this to the ObjectFormat list. It is the first (of probably many) non-xml science metadata standards that have been requested. So there is no associated XSD format for this type. John Kunze has suggested ways to convert ESC to XML -- see discussion below for suggested namespaces and for the approaches. Note that the suggested fmtid for this has been changed to ERC-V02, rather than the less specific ERC in the XML snippet below.
The spec is here: http://dublincore.org/groups/kernel/spec/

Could someone add "ERC" to the official ObjectFormat list? I think this

Regarding versioning the fmtid, "ERC-V02" would be more precise.
As for non-XML metadata, I think we should currently see no loss of
discoverability since the FGDC metadata we're supplying is a superset of
the ERC metadata. In the long term, if DataONE is inclined to support
ANVL metadata, there's open-source code [1] to transform ANVL records
into XML, Turtle, JSON, CSV, etc. (ANVL is basically like email headers
and the ERC format uses ANVL for generic cross-disciplinary metadata.)
History
#1 Updated by Robert Waltz over 12 years ago
ERC is a metadata vocabulary that may be used in some encapsulating format. I think we want to specify the specific encapsulating format rather than ERC itself. So ERC may be included in XML, a text document or binary format. So, this is a valid ERC expression and can be attributes of any electronic object:
erc:
who: Gibbon, Edward
what: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
when: 1781
where: http://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/
The terms who, what, when, where and how is the specification with some qualifying terms as well...
I don't see how we can support this as a specific document format type.
