Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the content; context; and structure of folktales from the Mekong River Basin; and to develop a metadata schema for data description and folktale storage. The research was conducted using the MAAT metadata lifecycle model; which comprises the following four steps: (1) conducting an information content analysis; (2) creating metadata requirements; (3) developing a metadata schema; and (4) carrying out a metadata service and evaluation. The folktale analysis; based on Anne Gilliland’s information object analysis; revealed the following: (1) the folktale content consists of types of tales; and the morals; beliefs; and parts they incorporate; (2) the folktale context consists of and names distributors; characters; scenes; magical objects; ethnic groups; languages; countries; relationships between tales; and their sources; (3) the folktale structure includes verbal; non-verbal; and mixed forms. The metadata schema development adopted the functional requirements for bibliographic records concepts and existing metadata standards; resulting in metadata with the following 18 elements: identifier; title; creator; contributor; description; relation; language; medium; sources; date; rights; keyword; character; moral; ethnic group; motif; place; and country. The metadata elements were described using the categories: name; definition; format; example; and note.
