Abstract

This paper presents a novel metadata design for organizing and managing humanities research data based on the semantic structure of research literature. The proposed metadata model aims to enhance the accessibility, discoverability, and interoperability of research data by leveraging the rich, nuanced semantics embedded within humanities texts. By aligning metadata creation with the semantic structure of research literature, this design proposes a system that facilitates the categorization and cross-referencing of knowledge while ensuring that research data is easily retrievable. The paper also discusses the potential of this design in promoting efficient data sharing and collaboration within the humanities research community.
