The framework is intended to allow the systematic generation of relevant propagation rules and to enable the assessment of those rules for particular contexts and the translation of rules into algorithmic processes.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The framework was developed using first order predicate logic. Relationships between collection-level and item-level description are expressed as propagation rules \u2013 inference rules where the properties of one entity entail conclusions about another entity in virtue of a particular relationship those individuals bear to each other. Propagation rules for reasoning between the collection and item level are grouped together in the framework according to their logical form as determined by the nature of the propagation action and the attributes involved in the rule.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The primary findings are the analysis of relationships between collection-level and item-level metadata, and the framework of categories of propagation rules. In order to fully develop the framework, the paper includes an analysis of colloquial metadata records and the collection membership relation that provides a general method for the translation of metadata records into formal knowledge representation languages.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The method for formalizing metadata records described in the paper represents significant progress in the application of knowledge representation techniques to problems of metadata creation and management, providing a flexible technique for encoding colloquial metadata as a set of statements in first-order logic. The framework of rules for collection\/item metadata relationships has a range of potential applications for the enhancement or metadata systems and vocabularies.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-01-2018-0017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,20]],"date-time":"2018-08-20T06:06:55Z","timestamp":1534745215000},"page":"1175-1189","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A logic-based framework for collection\/item metadata relationships"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Karen","family":"Wickett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041507440552500_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1108\/07378831211213256","article-title":"Libraries, languages of description, and linked data: a Dublin Core perspective","volume":"30","year":"2012","journal-title":"Library Hi Tech"},{"issue":"3-4","key":"key2021041507440552500_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1080\/15332748.2011.650124","article-title":"The semantic mapping of archival metadata to the CIDOC CRM ontology","volume":"9","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Archival Organization"},{"key":"key2021041507440552500_ref003","unstructured":"Brachman, R.J., McGuinness, D.L., Patel-Schneider, P.F., Resnick, L.A. and Borgida, A.
