metadata standards, universities
The project investigated the current state of implementation of metadata standards in Australian universities in 2003. The environmental scan aimed to identify existing and emerging metadata standards and metadata application profiles in use by universities, methods of metadata implementation, as well as supporting resources such as guidelines, tools, content management systems and publications by universities on the subject.
The outcome of the environmental scan is this paper which summarises the findings,
and the creation of an online community area to support metadata work in the
higher education sector and provide a location for the collection of research
papers and documents, guidelines, metadata tools, and discussion lists and forum
information. This online community area is available at http://www.edna.edu.au/edna/page1059.html.
