Use of metadata vocabularies in data retrieval

Abstract

Researchers have developed a prototype of a system that uses metadata to guide the user in selecting document databases of interest. A standardized vocabulary is used to index the document sets and is also used to locate databases. Once a database is located, then free‐form searches are aided by the metadata vocabulary to locate specific documents. This system, the Research, Education, Economic Information System (REEIS), is being developed for the USDA to provide a way to locate programs, projects, and research that focus on food, agriculture, natural resources, and rural development.
