Yet another review of Metadata – to DC or not to DC April 29, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackback“When will the SHARE Project cease reviewing their metadata?” You may well ask. So lets recap the story so far – we started with UK LOM, went through two reviews of this and dropped several field/elements along the way. And what we have now is something that really resembles Dublin Core.
- Author
- Title
- Keywords
- Description
- Learning Resource Type
- Rights
I have set-up two metadata views/templates within our Learning Repository using the above elements one using DC and another using LOM and to be honest the DC interface looks more user friendly than the LOM – this is because we are not using most of the elements within the categories but we still have the category headings within the view/template. If we move to DC a trade off is having the ability to do classification before publishing, which is something we need to think about. So this is not quite the end of the tale of metadata but hopefully in the next week or so we hope to have written the ending – slightly postmodern I know.
