Metadata Standards Directory WORKING GROUP Metadata Standards Directory Alex Ball University of Bath RDA Europe Webinar 16 February 2016 Outline Motivation: Why use metadata standards, and why many don’t Prior work: Finding a perfect match Methodology: The Working Group Results: The Metadata Standards Directory Next steps: The Metadata Standards Catalog Acknowledgements Why should I use a metadata standard? Better discovery versus Better context versus Better reuse | versus | Better ecosystem É Less working things out from scratch É More complete metadata É Benefits of practising É Better documentation of the standards É Concentration of development attention and effort É Better time-saving tools É etc., etc. So why doesn’t everyone use a metadata standard? 1 2 3 No suitable standard? None 56.1% My lab 22.1% ISO 8.0% Open GIS 8.0% EML 7.9% FDGC 7.9% Other 6.8% DC 2.2% Metadata standards used DwC 1.7% DIF 1.0% 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Responses (N = 1205/1329) Figure: Metadata for scientific data (Source: Tenopir et al. 2011) Back Forward Too many standards?
