HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access
archive for the deposit and dissemination of sci-
entific research documents, whether they are pub-
lished or not. The documents may come from
teaching and research institutions in France or
abroad, or from public or private research centers.

L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est
destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents
scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non,
émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de
recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires
publics ou privés.

# aLTAG3D: A User-Friendly Metadata Documentation Software

<figure><img src="image_5.png" /></figure>

aLTAG3D, is an open-source software developed by the consortium "3D for humanities" to simplify the process of documenting metadata for 3D research projects.

The consortium has focused on leveraging the complexity of metadata schemes that researchers face when they reach the documentation step of a deposit, particularly for 3D projects that involve large amounts of data and related documents.

## Simplifying 3D Research Documentation for Deposit

The software aims to make the process of documenting 3D research projects more accessible.

By providing a **user-friendly interface**, aLTAG3D enhances the efficiency of documenting 3D research projects.

The software is designed to **accommodate** a wide range of project types, making it adaptable to various research disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. It can be extended by **plugins** and to others schemes through XSD description.

The software aims to accelerate the entry of metadata, reducing the time and effort required for researchers.

By **automating** certain tasks, aLTAG3D ensures that researchers can effectively document their projects and contribute to the preservation and traceability of valuable resources.

The software aims to adhere to established metadata schemes and formats, such as XML, ensuring compatibility with deposit at the National 3D Data Repository and the archive at C.I.N.E.S. It ensures **validated deposit** and thus promotes **consistency**.
