Registry for Epigraphic Metadata: Encoding, Description, Integration and Annotation

The goal of Registry for Epigraphic Metadata: Encoding, Description, Integration and Annotation (REMEDIA) is to define a standardized core set of metadata fields specifically designed for epigraphic databases. This metadata profile aims to enhance the interoperability, discoverability, and FAIR compliance of epigraphic data by providing a common framework that database creators and users can adopt. By establishing clear definitions, examples, and relationships among metadata fields, the project seeks to facilitate data integration, reuse, and long-term preservation across diverse epigraphic resources and platforms. REMEDIA describes various metadata concepts from epigraphic databases organized using the SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) framework. Each entry represents a distinct metadata field or concept with detailed annotations, helping users understand, compare, and rate their usefulness and interoperability.
