Why Is This Important?

The property (attributes and values pairs) links on this page unveil a different kind of link, one which enables the following on HTTP networks such as the Web:

Unambiguous identity for entities (aka. strong identifiers)

Implicit binding of an entity and its metadata via strong identifiers

Multiple metadata representations that enable a variety of presentations

High precision Search and Find queries that simply use the metadata documents (by referencing entity URIs) as the query's Data Source Name

How Do I Discover Alternative Metadata Representations?

This document exposes metadata in the following formats: (X)HTML+RDFa, Turtle, N3, RDF/JSON, or RDF/XML. In the most basic form, you can simply view the (X)HTML source markup of this page, and go directly to the <head/> section which contains a <link/> tag with relationship and type properties for each format.

In addition, you can also explicitly request a desired metadata representation for a given resource via HTTP GET requests that use the entity's strong identifier as the call target.

Description	The JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) aims to assist other applications, to discover and devolve materials that match their users’ interests in their research, learning and teaching. This paper describes the experience of using an application profile throughout the application development process, from initial data design, through application implementation, to scenarios illustrating application use. Also discussed is the benefit of using an application profile to share both a data schema and actual data with similar initiatives.
