In addition to Gateway access to educational resources on the Web, GEM has developed a set of widely used standards used for describing those resources. GEM has also developed tools to make creating resource descriptions simple. Look for documentation of those standards and tools here.
- GEM 2.0: Application Profiles
- Application profiles for GEM 2.0 including GEM (in general), Gateway Lite and Gateway Full
- GEM 2.0: Element Descriptions
- Descriptions of metadata elements used in GEM including encoding schemes (XML and RDF/XML) and "best practices" in their use.
- Controlled Vocabularies
- GEM Consortium has developed a series of controlled vocabularies that it recommends be used for a number of elements in the GEM element set. While use of these vocabularies is recommended, use of other non-GEM controlled vocabularies is encouraged where needed to serve the needs of a specific metadata collection.
- Metadata Schemas
- RDF (Resource Description Framework) metadata schemas in XML used by GEM in producing descriptions of educational resources. The various metadata schemas are combined into an application profile.
- Application Profiles
- GEM uses application profiles to manage the element sets that the project uses in describing educational resources and in configuring metadata tools.
- Metadata Preparation for the Gateway to Educational Materials
- An overview of the steps required to prepare metadata records for inclusion in the Gateway.
- GEM Element Descriptions (Archive)
- Archive of GEM element descriptions
- Development Environment
- This document describes the application development environment for software used in the GEM project.
