Welcome to The Registry Sandbox!
This is the playground sandbox for the National Science Digital Library Metadata Registry
The Registry Sandbox uses it's own database and login, so you can make a fine mess (please try not to kick the sand out of the sandbox).
If you want to really register a vocabulary, head on over to the Production Metadata Registry
How to begin
The best place to get started might be to see what other folks are doing. Click on 'Browse Vocabularies' over there on the right.
When you're ready to play yourself, here are some Step-by-step illustrated instructions...
If you want to know more about what's going on here, you can see all of the relevant documentation over at the Production Metadata Registry
Complaint (and kudos) department
If you encounter a bug, or would like to make a suggestion, please create a ticket.
Or you can always send us an email...

When we first designed the NSDL Registry, part of the requirements was that it be able to run in Lynx (seriously) and be usable without JavaScript in all browsers including all versions of IE. As you will probably have noticed, the world of web development has changed a bit in the last 8 years. Lately [ ... ]

Until lately we’ve been pretty happy with our ISP, Dreamhost. But a few months ago, after several during-the-presentation meltdowns of the Registry we determined that we needed to move to a higher-performing, more reliable server. We could have done the easy thing and moved to a Virtual Private Server at Dreamhost. Instead, we setup an [ ... ]

We’re using Benjamin Nowack‘s excellent ARC libraries for a tiny bit of our RDF management. It may surprise you to know that we don’t use a triple store as our primary data store, but we do too many things with the data that we think are cumbersome at best when managed exclusively in a triple store (a subject [ ... ]

As of today, the link to Step-by-Step instruction on the Registry front page has been updated (and not a moment too soon). The new link still goes to the Registry Wiki, but the link itself is different, so those of you eager users who have bookmarked the old instructions might want to take a look [ ... ]

As of this week, the familiar NSDL Regisry has a new name–the Open Metadata Registry–and a new logo. The name change reflects the fact that we’re no longer receiving funding from the National Science Foundation on behalf of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), but also recognizes that the Registry has become one of the [ ... ]

Over the years we’ve been engaged in a number of discussions in which the ‘readability’ of URIs was raised, either as an issue with non-readable URIs or as a requirement in new URI schemes. At the Registry, we understand and are sensitive to the desire for human readability in URIs. However embedding a language-specific label [ ... ]

Just a quick note that today we updated the version of SKOS that we provide for describing value vocabularies. This deprecates the properties that were removed from the final SKOS release and adds the many new ones. We’ve also restricted the non-mapping relation properties (skos:broader, skos:narrower, skos:related) to the ‘containing’ scheme while providing cross-scheme mapping [ ... ]

A prerequisite for the registering of our terms in the NSDL Registry and one of the greatest challenges for the German National Library at the moment is the translation of the RDA elements and vocabularies. Since bibliographic description is executed with a highly specialised vocabulary, we are finding that the process of pinpointing the appropriate [ ... ]

This week, Karen Coyle wrote a post about LCSH as linked data: beyond “dash-dash” which provoked a discussion on the id.loc.gov discussion list. It seems to me that there are several memes at play in this conversation: LCSH and SKOS As Karen points out, LCSH is more than just a simple thesaurus. It’s also a [ ... ]

We’ve been thinking for some time about how to implement multi-lingual (and multi-script) vocabularies in the Registry. Some Registry users have been experimenting with language and script capability for some time (see Daniel Lovins’ Sandbox Hebrew GMD’s). But it was really when we started working with the RDA vocabularies that we got serious about multi-linguality. [ ... ]
