Purpose

The growth of web emerging technology and data visual demand from the World Wide Web (WWW) makes the need for information repositories become vital. Proper database development will assure the repository managing web content effectively aligns with web archive metadata standards. This paper aims to present the database design process for web archive content repository specifically to maintain social and cultural heritage values upon Malaysians as Mfigures.

Design/methodology/approach

The empirical process start with literature review and validation from expert on the elements and scopes of research. Then, structured database design guideline which part of database life cycle (DBLC) was applied and combined with the step of comparative and mapping the conceptual model with metadata standard that is relevant with web archive content. The paper focuses on the first three stages: Database Initial Study, web archiving and Metadata standard mapping; and conceptual design to focus on data modelling. Another two stages of database design are logical design and physical design will be exposed later.

Findings

The empirical process has produced initial conceptual data model, database structure that can be a basis of web archiving repository. The data model had also been verified with metadata data standards to assure the database structure implementation cater the need of web archiving repository features especially web information discovery.

Research limitations/implications

Nevertheless, database design is the most effective way to develop good information architecture on the Net, but the absence of some important fields on related tables have been identified such as subject, language, coverage, right, publisher and contributor. The MFigures’ database schema will continuously improve for better scope and coverage of web archive content suite with future information demands on the WWW.

Practical implications

The conceptual data model act as a communication tool by the technical team in web application development. It can be revisited to suite with other different database management system or to suite with other similar scope of information repository requirements.

Social implications

Mfigures was uniquely designed for collecting Malaysian social and cultural heritage, which are rarely design before, and it can be beneficial as Malaysia society future references for excellent motivations roles and successful stories.

Originality/value

The Mfigure conceptual data model was empirically design and gone through a proper validation process by the industrial and academic experts.

马来西亚公众人物网络档案库的数据库设计：社会和文化遗产网络收藏

目的

Web 新兴技术的增长和万维网 (WWW) 的数据可视化需求使得对信息存储库的需求变得至关重要。适当的数据库开发将确保管理 Web 内容的存储库有效地与 Web 存档元数据标准保持一致。本文旨在介绍网络档案内容存储库的数据库设计过程，以维护马来西亚人作为 Mfigures 的社会和文化遗产价值。

设计/方法/方法

实证过程从文献回顾和专家对研究要素和范围的验证开始。然后，结构化数据库设计指南应用数据库生命周期（DBLC）的哪个部分，并结合将概念模型与与网络档案内容相关的元数据标准进行比较和映射的步骤。本文重点关注前三个阶段：数据库初步研究、网络归档和元数据标准映射；和概念设计以专注于数据建模。数据库设计的另外两个阶段是逻辑设计和物理设计，稍后会介绍。

发现

经验过程产生了初步的概念数据模型、数据库结构，可以作为网络归档存储库的基础。该数据模型还通过元数据数据标准进行了验证，以确保数据库结构实现满足 Web 归档存储库功能特别是 Web 信息发现的需求。

研究限制/影响

尽管如此，数据库设计是在网络上开发良好信息架构的最有效方式，但是已经确定相关表上缺少一些重要字段，例如主题、语言、覆盖范围、权利、出版商和贡献者。MFigures 的数据库架构将不断改进，以更好地覆盖 Web 存档内容套件的范围和覆盖范围，以满足未来对 WWW 的信息需求。

实际影响

概念数据模型在 Web 应用程序开发中充当技术团队的交流工具。可以重新访问它以配合其他不同的数据库管理系统或配合其他类似范围的信息存储库要求。

社会影响

Mfigures 是专为收集马来西亚社会和文化遗产而设计的，这是以前很少设计的，它可以作为马来西亚社会未来优秀动机角色和成功故事的参考。

原创性/价值

Mfigure 概念数据模型是根据经验设计的，并经过了工业和学术专家的适当验证过程。
