+ <objectives>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Delineation of the basic intelligence to be considered
+ for encapsulation in metadata, in order to meet the needs
+ delineated during Requirement Analysis (WP1).</li>
+ <li>Definition and Development of a specific Markup Model
+ in RDF.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </objectives>
+ <description>
+ <p>The precise definition of metadata and their actual
+ Markup Model are essential aspects for implementing the
+ main functionalities of the library, and especially for
+ archiving, searching and retrieving issues. The work will
+ be articulated in two main, almost sequential, tasks:</p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>T3.1</dt>
+ <dd>Use, meaning and classification. This task, based on the
+ previous documents D1 and D2, is aimed to provide a
+ precise definition and classification of all metadata
+ required for an effective and efficient management of the
+ library.</dd>
+
+ <dt>T3.2</dt>
+ <dd>Modelling. This is devoted to the definition of a precise
+ markup model. To this aim, we plan to use the Resource
+ Description Framework of W3C.</dd>

+ <milestone>
+ <p>The definition of the Metadata model is amain milestone,
+ since the architectural design and implementation of the
+ consultation engine (Task 4.2) will be essentially based on
+ it. Similarly, it is required for Task 2.4 (automatic
+ extraction of metadata).</p>
