Joinup.

The Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS) is a vocabulary to describe interoperability assets making it possible for ICT developers to explore and search for interoperability assets. 

ADMS allows public administrations, businesses, standardisation bodies and academia to:

• describe semantic assets in a common way so that they can be seamlessly cross-queried and discovered by ICT developers  from a single access point, such as Joinup;
• search, identify, retrieve, compare semantic assets to be reused avoiding duplication and expensive design work through a single point of access;
• keep their own system for documenting and storing semantic assets;
• improve indexing and visibility of their own assets;
• link semantic assets to one another in cross-border and cross-sector settings.

Collections of interoperability assets searchable on Joinup

On 3 January 2013, a new version of Joinup was released in production. Together with it, a first wave of federated repositories and  semantic assets became searchable through Joinup. >> Read more
