Annex II includes an in-depth analysis of eight case studies that consists of information collected from a desk research and interviews. The long list of cases identified is available in Annex I. Glossary This section provides common definitions used throughout the study. Table 1 - Glossary Description Term / Acronym A common metadata vocabulary to describe standards, so-called ADMS interoperability assets, on the Web. ADMS is a W3C Working Group Note. A mechanism defined in the HTTP specification that makes it possible Content to serve different versions of a document (or more generally, a negotiation resource representation) at the same URI; so that user agents can specify which version best fit their capabilities. Comma-separated (or character-separated) values file stores tabular CSV data (numbers and text) in plain-text form. A data model is a collection of entities, their properties and the Data model relationships among them, which aims at formally representing a domain, a concept or a real-world thing DCMI Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Domain is a specific subject matter area that has government body i.e. Domain ministry or department responsible for that domain e.g. the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Finance. ICT Information and Communication Technology According the ISA Decision, interoperability means the ability of disparate and diverse organisations to interact towards mutually beneficial and agreed common goals, involving the sharing of Interoperability information and knowledge between the organisations, through the business processes they support, by means of the exchange of data between their respective ICT systems. The internal rate of return (IRR) or economic rate of return (ERR) is a IRR rate of return used in capital budgeting to measure and compare the profitability of investments GUI Graphical User Interface Metadata is structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to retrieve, use, or manage an information Metadata resource. Metadata is often called data about data or information about information. (National Information Standards Organization , 2004) Metadata governance comprises well-defined and responsibilities, Metadata cohesive policies and principles, and decision-making processes that governance define, govern and regulate the lifecycle of metadata. We define metadata management as the good practice of adopting Metadata policies, processes, and systems to plan, perform, evaluate, and management improve the use and re-use of data models and reference data.
