Changing Strategy GUI to DOMS GUI (Graphic User Interface) DOMS (Digital Object Management System)
Metadata (1) Our basic needs: Descriptive metadata structure standard to describe the physical characteristics and the intellectual content of an item Administrative metadata to describe the process connected to the digitization and the digital file itself
Metadata (2) Factors to consider according to UKOLN: Purpose of metadata Attributes of resource Design of standard Granularity Interoperability Support Growth Extensibility Reputation Ease of use Existing expertise
Metadata (3) Our choise – so far: Qualified Dublin Core and PB Core as descriptive metadata. PREMIS as preservation metadata. DCMI Type Vocabulary and other standard schemes as content standard XML as mark-up language /encoding format
Conclusion Finish the fundamental work before you start on defining the functional requirements of a Graphic User Interface
