DiscoverEd Glossary

Curator

An agent (individual, organization, group) which identifies resources for inclusion in the DiscoverEd index. A curator may be creator/publisher of the resources, or may be a third party which identifies existing resources and [possibly] adds additional metadata.

Resource

A single resource to be indexed, identified by a curator. Metadata about the resource may be included with it as RDFa, or provided by the curator.
