  2. What’s it all about? • Practical usability testing (DCAPs: SWAP, GAP, IAP, TBMAP, LMAP, SDAP) • Avoid untested, preconceived ideas of user requirements – consult users instead! • Substantiate need for complex metadata structures/terms: convince developers • All outcomes possible (minor alterations, radical reformulation, status quo)

  3. Method • Start where most practicable (where feedback most immediately available) • Iterative development of methodology (different per resource/DCAP?) • Work with what we have (DCAPs as they currently stand, not further hypothesis) • Test interfaces & paper prototyping • Include everybody (repository managers, users, developers, whole community)

  4. Outcomes • Clearer idea of what APs do for real users (repositories, VREs, VLEs etc) • Methodology for in-depth assessment of practical need and use cases for metadata schemas and APs • Toolkit approach to facilitating APs for which there is a demonstrated use • Show the community how to do it!
