The new Metadata Model of OpenDocument Format 1.2

Svante Schubert (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

OpenDocument Format 1.2 will feature a new, RDF-based metadata model.

Metadata is simply data about data. RDF-based metadata leverages all the work done for the Semantic Web in ODF applications and documents.

The enhancement of ODF metadata with the RDF model will:

  • Enable enrichment of content in ODF based documents
  • Enable seamless integration with other RDF-based metadata
  • Enable ODF documents to work with semantically “aware” applications
  • Provide a foundation for the next generation of ODF extensions

Support for RDF-based metadata is expected in OpenOffice 3.0!

This lightning round provides an overview of the RDF-based metadata model.
