A Metadata-based Framework for Multilingual Ecological Information Management

本文介紹由林業試驗所生態資訊研究小組所發展的多語系生態資訊管理系統，此系統依據生態後設資料語言標準設計，系統由三層輸入與輸出作業架構而成，此系統可提供研究人員管理與分享研究資料。第一層為研究資料之處理層，第二層為研究後設資料之編輯管理作業層，第三層為網頁型態之產出層。此系統具有適應亞洲各國使用不同語言的特點，提供生態研究資料後設資料語言文件編輯、儲存與資料分析應用等功能。依本架構共完成兩個主要的作業模組，分別為生態後設資料語言之文件模組及以此文件為基礎的分析模組，另外目前有58份生態後設資料語言文件蒐集儲存在系統中。

Herein, we introduce a framework of an ecological information management prototype of tools based on a metadata standard. The framework was developed by the Ecological Informatics Working Group of the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute (TFRI) to aid with editing, storing, and using documents in the multiple languages of Asian cultures that comprise the East-Asia Pacific International Long-Term Ecological Research (EAP-ILTER) Network. The conceptual framework of the system can be divided into three tiers. The first tier deals with datasets and related information. The second tier relates to information management. Once datasets and other related information have been described, they are stored in a schema-independent database. The third tier is comprised of the full web-based interfaces that allow easy access to the second tier. Results of the application of this framework consist of an Ecological Metadata Language (EML) document database module, a data analysis function module, and a collection of 58 EML documents.
