Data Wrappers

A common data wrapper envelope description allows different kinds of content to be mapped into the

same space

Data Content

Data Wrapper

Tangible

Precise naming should occur optionally at both the data wrapper level and at the tangible level

Data Content

Data Wrapper

Tangible

Names / metadata about the context of the use of the data

Names / metadata about the data files themselves

Next directions

• Adding additional schemas to the online examples

• OMNI version 2 – more generalized and simplified
