Below find one example of metadata definitions as implemented by people who do this for a living:
That's a specification for a container format for metadata. If you check, you'll see that the PG catalogue already uses several of the same ontologies. Same metadata, different format.
Mostly the same format, too. PG uses Dublin Core, with some additional namespaces. It's a big download, but look at the catalog in XML/RDF format in the "offline catalogs" page of www.gutenberg.org Also, you can find an RDF file in the generated files, with just the metadata for that book. They're not as easy to find at www.gutenberg.org, but they're part of the rsync-able contents ("mirroring how-to"). For example, ftp://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/mirrors/gutenberg/cache/generated/1661/ or http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/mirrors/gutenberg/cache/generated/1661/ Specifically, http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/mirrors/gutenberg/cache/generated/1661/pg1661.r... -- Greg
