IR Services Metadata Subgroup

The IR Services Metadata Subgroup defines and provides guidance for metadata practice in the TUL institutional repository.

We will design a metadata model that:

• Ensures stewardship of resources through the entire digital lifecycle
• Is flexible and interoperable with other infrastructures that may need to interact with the repository for discovery across environments
• Meets user requirements based on self-service submissions as well as administratively applied description
• Adheres to standards
• Applies to a variety of record and object types
• Follows specifications required or recommended by the repository platform or infrastructure
• Determines user needs and how they may impact metadata creation
• Clearly outlines guidelines, fields, and how those fields should be populated
• Is well documented and outlines decisions made
• Has a clear workflow and application process

Deliverables:

• Metadata application profile (MAP)
• Relevant metadata crosswalks
• Temple University vocabulary system (ie https://vocab.lib.uh.edu/en.html)
• Generate controlled vocabulary list to submit to NACO
• Basic workflows for metadata creation
• Basic workflows for metadata maintenance
• Long-term metadata advisory schedule
