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...

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 [ ... ]

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 [ ... ]

Those of you who have actually discovered the Registry and tried to add stuff to it have (I hope) already realized that we had Step-by-step Instructions for doing so. They were old, and we’d added new things (mostly Jon added new things—I just rant, nag and test), so I finally re-did the instructions. [ ... ]

It’s been a busy summer, but not on the Registry front.
We’re currently working on integrating the ARC library so we can handle RDF a bit more intelligently. This will give us import capability, a SPARQL endpoint, and the ability to express vocabularies in more RDF serializations. We’ve also made some improvements to our URI-building [ ... ]

Jeepers, no posts for 3+ months and then two in one day! The truth is that I hadn’t realized the last post was still sitting in my drafts folder more than a month after I wrote it.
Moving on…
A number of folks have been interested in installing the Registry, especially since we’ve talked before about [ ... ]

If you’ve been watching the Registry closely (and we know you have), you’ll have noticed that a few weeks ago we started supporting the registration of metadata schemas. It’s not finished and far from perfect, but the perfect can often be the enemy of the good and at the moment it’s, well, good enough for [ ... ]

I was talking with Diane this morning about building the schema portion of the Registry and I feel the need to write down some of what we discussed.
For purposes of discussion, we have a draft schema property interface that defines some basic metadata schema property properties. We started the conversation because I was trying [ ... ]

You can now retrieve a snapshot in time of the RDF or XSD serialization of a Concept/Scheme/Vocabulary by appending a ‘TimeSlice’ to the URI. For example: http://metadataregistry.org/uri/NSDLEdLvl/ts/20060422200002.rdf or http://metadataregistry.org/uri/NSDLEdLvl/ts/20060422200002.xsd will always and forever retrieve the SKOS/RDF or XML Schema representation of the NSDL Ed Level Vocabulary as it appeared at 2 seconds after 8PM on [ ... ]

We’ve been promising for a while now that we’d make it easier, actually a better word is ‘possible’, for Vocabulary Owners to add ‘Members’ to Owner/Agents and ‘Maintainers’ to Vocabularies. We finally implemented it today! It’s unfortunate that it has taken us so long, since one of the primary goals of the Registry is to [ ... ]
