Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce an infrastructural approach to metadata modelling and a generalised meta-model for recordkeeping metadata. This meta-model is an attempt to support interoperability between disparate systems, and particularly, between sets of ostensibly incommensurate record documentation. Design/methodology/approach The investigation used a reflective design-science investigation comprising interviews adaptive literature review, creation of conceptual models and the design and instantiation of a proof-of-concept system. Findings The investigation confirms that recordkeeping interoperability between disparate ontologies is achievable through a meta-model approach. In particular, the meta-model carefully defines relationships between entities with specific semantics that enable the development of interoperable domain schemas. Practical implications A meta-model for recordkeeping metadata facilitates the development of recordkeeping systems that possess interoperability-by-design. Social implications Recordkeeping systems that conform to the meta-model can, therefore, transcend the immediate transactional context and support participatory recordkeeping in terms of a plurality of stakeholder world views and agency in records. Originality/value This paper is one of the few reporting design-science approaches to recordkeeping informatics and one that has used a meta-model approach for recordkeeping metadata design. In contrast to most empirically determined metadata schemas, the top-down design approach has produced a schema from a wide variety of ontological sources.

In this paper a 3D optimization process for the aerodynamic design of a centrifugal multistage compressor stage is presented using the commercial software NUMECA/Design3D. The exercise, starting from a given single stage configuration with vaned diffuser, consists in the automatic design of the vaned diffuser with a return channel in order to obtain a repetitive compressor stage for multistage compressor architecture. The design process uses the meta-model approach coupled to 3D Navier-Stokes simulations; the optimization algorithm drives the automatic design process to minimize a prescribed goal function. Only the design condition has been considered and the effect of the starting DoE population on the optimization process has been investigated. In the paper a critical analysis on the design process using the meta-model approach is performed and the most crucial issues to set up a best practice for the effective use of such technology are discussed in some detail.
