Abstract
The goal of this research is to facilitate, as effectively as possible, user access to and use of the knowledge recorded on palm leaf manuscripts (PLMs). At the same time, the schema should serve as a standard information structure to be used in the management of PLMs and other digitized ancient documents. This will also make the linking of Asian cultural heritage and wisdom with those of countries in this region possible via the internet. Accordingly, this research aims to develop metadata schema for the management of PLMs collections to increase efficiency in the search, access, use, and management. There are four parts in this study: (1) the current state of PLMs management in Asia and the use of PLMs metadata schema in working projects were investigated, then (2) the elements were analyzed and grouped by functions, (3) the core elements were matched to KKUPLMMs 2012, 2015 and IFLA LRM User Tasks and (4) a Focus group was set up to evaluate the framework.
