A code symbol compilation method was developed to give each piece of clothing a unique number, facilitating identification, classification and recording. At last, a metadata construction scheme for traditional clothing was developed. A traditional embroidered children's hat and Mamianqunt serve as examples to demonstrate the metadata elements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The clothing meta-database provides a main body of traditional clothing while also paying attention to the collection of cultural elements.

This scheme records the information about each layer of traditional clothing in detail and provides shared data for discipline research and industry applications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/el-01-2023-0004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]],"date-time":"2023-05-24T01:55:35Z","timestamp":1684893335000},"page":"367-386","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Metadata construction scheme of a traditional clothing digital collection"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Qingzhu","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref001","unstructured":"AGLS Metadata Standard (2022), available at: https:\/\/agls.gov.au\/ (accessed 13 November 2022)"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1080\/20932685.2022.2085595","article-title":"The fashion development process for traditional costumes in the contemporary global fashion market","volume":"14","year":"2023","journal-title":"Journal of Global Fashion Marketing"},{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref003","unstructured":"Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision (2022), \u201cMetadata specification for cultural relics and artworks: DB11\/T1219- \u22122015\u201d, available at: http:\/\/wwj.beijing.gov.cn\/bjww\/resource\/cms\/article\/363732\/552318\/2018011517394124028.pdf (accessed 22 July 2022)."},{"issue":"10","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref004","first-page":"108","article-title":"From the slit skirt to \u2013 horse face skirt development process","volume":"2","year":"2016","journal-title":"Art and Design (Theory)"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.16885\/jktc.2019.12.22.4.115","article-title":"Analysis of the state of traditional Korean costume on YouTube","volume":"22","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Korean Traditional Costume"},{"issue":"13","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8090","DOI":"10.3390\/su14138090","article-title":"The revitalization design of regional ethnic cultural capital in a sustainable perspective: the case of traditional Chinese garment Yunjian","volume":"14","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sustainability"},{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref007","article-title":"National Central product classification \u2013 product category core metadata \u2013 part 13:Clothing(GB\/T 37600.13-2018)","author":"China Institute of Standardization","year":"2018"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref008","first-page":"46","article-title":"Application of DC metadata in the construction of local characteristic audio resources in the library \u2013 take the project of \u2018the voice of Sichuan reading\u2019 of Sichuan provincial library as an example","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sichuan Library Journal"},{"issue":"12","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref009","first-page":"15","article-title":"Comparative study of commonly used metadata standards abroad","volume":"91","year":"2001","journal-title":"The Journal of the University Library"},{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref010","unstructured":"Getty Vocabulary Program (2019), \u201cCategories for the description of works of art\u201d, available at: www.getty.edu\/research\/publications\/electronic_publications\/cdwa\/introduction.html (accessed 28 February 2019)."},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"545","DOI":"10.3145\/epi.2016.jul.04","article-title":"Data and metadata research in the social sciences and humanities: an approach from data repositories in these disciplines","volume":"25","year":"2016","journal-title":"El Profesional de la Informaci\u00f3n"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1002\/bult.133","article-title":"Bringing fashion out of the closet: classification structure for the drexel historic costume collection","volume":"25","year":"2005","journal-title":"Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology"},{"issue":"12","key":"key2023072005323112900_ref039","first-page":"1455","article-title":"The metadata function of network information resource organization and retrieval","volume":"22","year":"2004","journal-title":"Information Science"},{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref013","unstructured":"Hinweis zum Datenschutz (2022), \u201cRechtsrahmen zu open-data\u201d, available at: www.bmi.bund.de\/DE\/themen\/moderne-verwaltung\/opengovernment\/open-data\/open-data-node.htm (accessed 24 October 2022)."},{"key":"key2023072005323112900_ref014","unstructured":"Huang, R. and Li, N.
