  1. DPC 2002 Retreat Metadata Status Report (2002 Sep. 4)

  2. Metadata Purpose Capture resource information in a structured format for discovery Resources: websites, services annotations, collections, activities, images, news&opps, etc. • Services: Capabilities that enhance DLESE functions (e.g. OAI) • Annotations: Additional information about a resource that is provided by non-resource creators or users of the resource. • Collections: Resources grouped together because they are organized around a theme, organization or some criteria.

  3. Five Facets of Metadata • Framework Development: Develop XML structures for capturing resource information • Metadata Maintenance: Make structural or semantic changes records • Framework Documentation: Interpretation of the framework, vocabularies and cataloging best practices • Collection Management: Export or import records in appropriate formats • User Support: Tool instructions, cataloging support and collection building

  4. 1. Framework Development • NSDL: DLESE-IMS records  NSDL compliant • Collection-level: Describes a group of item-level metadata records as a whole • Item-level: Describes individual resources • New & Opportunities: Describes community conferences, workshops, grants, jobs etc. • Annotation: Review status of item-level records • Services: Describes available services

  5. 2. Metadata Maintenance • Addition or update of fields: (ESS vocab, standards, more geospatial coverage) • DLESE-IMS  ADN: dfsdf

  6. 3. Framework Documentation • Cataloging best practices: How to complete a field; 1 pt of chg, 6 pts of propagation. • Framework interpretations: The definition, occurrences & use of fields; 1 pt of chg & prop. • Vocabularies: Defintions; 2 pts of chg, 6 pts of propagation (e.g. NSES implementation) • Develop the vocabulary, its definitions and use: • 6-12 months or longer depending on the vocabulary. • not required here because used National Academy of Science. • Vocabulary in the metadata: Aug. 2001 • Vocabulary in the DCS: March 2002 • Vocabulary in the discovery system: To be determined

  7. 4. Collection Management • Incoming DCS collections: • Carleton, DWEL, Eval. Toolkit (100+ records) • Have DPC support in tool and record maintenance • In DLESE-IMS • Incoming non-DCS collections: • COMET, AVC, JDL, NAP, CRS, JESSE (9000+ records) • Not in current DLESE-IMS rather in Dublin Core or native • Have little or no DPC support • Outgoing collections: • DLESE-IMS, Simple Dublin Core, News & Opps, Qualified Dublin Core

  8. 5. User Support • Cataloger Training/Support: Reached 185 people directly since Jan. 1, 2002 • Collection Support: How to map COMET native metadata to DLESE-IMS? • Will change dramatically • Increase in cataloger training/support with more remote DCS users • Increase in collection builder questions about getting to the DLESE-IMS format

  9. Issues: Policy questions • Metadata cannot do everything: e.g. including advertising info. is beyond item-level metadata. • Establish a framework development process: To create framework versions and a less haphazard method for adding fields & vocabs. • Establish a collection approval process: Explain the mechanics of the Collections Accession Policy process of becoming a collection.

  10. Exposures: Priority & Resource Limits • ESS vocabulary development: DPC participate • Alpha and beta testing: metadata not have • Metadata maintenance: shuts down the DCS for the transition to ADN and DCS code upgrades • Dramatic increase in collection support: For non-DCS collection builders to get correct metadata format; need framework docs • Need ADN now: To enforce required metadata & vocabs for non-DCS’ers; collaboration is slow.
