Abstract
We describe the design, implementation, and deployment of the Comprehensive Extensible Data Documentation and Access Repository (CED2AR). This is a metadata repository system that allows researchers to search, browse, access, and cite confidential data and metadata through either a web-based user interface or programmatically through a search API, all the while re-reusing and linking to existing archive and provider generated metadata. CED2AR is distinguished from other metadata repository-based applications due to requirements that derive from its social science context. These include the need to cloak confidential data and metadata and manage complex provenance chains.

Recommendations
Reusing metadata across components, applications, and languages
Among the well-known means to increase programmer productivity and decrease development effort is systematic software reuse. Although large scale reuse remains an elusive goal, programmers have been successfully reusing individual software artifacts, ...
Reusability of eLearning Objects in the context of Learning Grids
Proceedings of the 2005 conference on Towards the Learning Grid: Advances in Human Learning ServicesThis paper examines the requirements for eLearning Object Metadata, in order to appropriately support pedagogic and economic goals as well as service oriented architectures like the Grid. The standard IEEE LOM is being tested against these requirements. ...
Implementation of enterprise reuse
ACM-SE 43: Proceedings of the 43rd annual Southeast regional conference - Volume 1Reuse, software reuse and code reuse are three terms that are often misused and confused by the general practitioner. Reuse is has been tossed around since 1994 where many organizations jumped all over the reuse bandwagon without much success. Software ...
