Extended Metadata Schema Properties

Overview

‘Extended’ metadata allows some customisation by Registration Agencies. All properties must be used without variation. Requirements, constraints, and format must be enforced. Controlled lists, however, may be modified.

Registration agencies may:

  1. Add additional existing controlled list schemas, so long as they are human and machine-readable with a single page per value.

  2. Build new controlled list schemas, so long as they are human and machine-readable with a single page per value.

Note that not all existing schemes provide a URI for each term, in which case Registration Agencies will need to build and publish their own lists.

All non-canonical schemas must be registered with the Registration Authority.
