The documentation requirements of data published in long term archives have significantly grown over the last decade. At WDCC the data publishing process is assisted by “Atarrabi”, a web-based workflow system for reviewing and editing metadata information by the data authors and the publication agent. The system ensures high metadata quality for long-term use of the data with persistent identifiers (DOI/URN). By these well-defined references (DOI) credit can properly be given to the data producers in any publication.

In this paper, we present a solution how to test cultural influences on E-Learning in a global context. Based on a metadata approach, we show how specifically cultural influence factors can be determined to transfer and adapt learning environments. We present a method how those influence factors can be validated for both, to improve the dynamical meta-data specification and to be used in the development of (international) E-Learning scenarios.
This paper addresses the urgent need for international standardization of Context Metadata for e-Learning environments. In particular, E-Learning when distributed over the Internet, can synchronously and asynchronously reach a huge number of learners but also has to deal with a variety of different cultures and societies and the related complications. A lot of the differences strongly demand adaptation processes in which especially the contents are being modified to fit the needs in the targeted contexts. In our approach solving this task, we determined a list of around 160 significant possible differences and defined those as context metadata. In this paper, we show the results of our research regarding to the determination of context related influence factors as well as approaches to deal with them and present a first specification of the representing context-metadata.
Mobile devices as the iPhone and Android-based smartphones can be turned into useful tools for researchers in the field. The concept of a scholarly or scientific workbench can be extended by a mobile usage scenario, where the researcher takes photographs, records sounds, and performs basic metadata editing. We present the prototype and the architecture of a mobile workbench that uploads geo-tagged photographs taken by the camera of the smartphone into a digital repository. We discuss the idea of a research workbench as an integrated but loosely-coupled set of services; we show where in our solution the functionalities of a research workbench are contained or where other services can be added. Finally, we focus on the software running on the mobile phone, which is in itself a set of loosely-coupled applications.
