DOMS (Digital Object Management System)

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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
