\chapter{Conclusions and Future Work}
\label{ch:conclusions}

Further work is needed on more complex types of response (similarity ratio, relation types) and also on the interaction with Metadata Service to find the optimal way of providing the features of semantic mapping and query expansion as semantic search within the search user-interface.

The statistics about current usage/population of the CMD demonstrate that the basic concept of a flexible metamodel with integrated semantic layer is being taken up by the community. Metadata modellers increasingly making use not only of the infrastructure, but are also reusing the modelling work done so far. The provisions designed to ensure semantic interoperability (DCR together with the RR) are pratically in place and prove to be useful.

More work is needed on consolidation of the actual values in the CMD records. CLARIN has set up a separate task force for data curation, which will have to be an ongoing effort. Also, work is ongoing on enriching the SMC browser with instance data information, allowing to directly see and inspect, which profiles and DCs are effectively being used in the instance data (and how often).
