Best Practice Poster: Normalizing Decentralized Metadata Practices Using Business Process Improvement Methodology: A Data-Informed Approach to Identifying Institutional Core Metadata
2020Co-Authors: Emily PorterAbstract:The Emory University Libraries and Emory Center for Digital Scholarship have developed numerous digital collections over the past decade. Accompanying Metadata originates via multiple business units, authoring tools and schemas, and is delivered to varied destination platforms. Seeking a more uniform Metadata Strategy, the Libraries’ Metadata Working Group initiated a project in 2014 to define a set of core, schema-agnostic Metadata elements relevant to local content types. Quantitative and qualitative techniques commonly used in the field of Business Process Improvement were utilized to mitigate complex organizational factors. A key research deliverable emerged from benchmarking: a structured comparison of over 30 element sets, recording for each standard its descriptive element names, their required-ness, and general semantic concepts.

Successful Customer Relationship Management: Why, ERP, Data Warehousing, Decision Support, and Metadata Matter
2020Co-Authors: Jim Davis, Ellen JoynerAbstract:A CRM system is only as successful as the quality of data and data-management processes supporting it. Organizations planning wisely beyond the next millennium are thinking beyond process automation and are focused on getting better acquainted with customers to increase revenues and profits. Maintaining a sound Metadata Strategy — as well as understanding the roles of ERP, decision support, and data warehousing systems — is crucial for attaining this higher level of understanding.

A Checklist and a Case for Documenting PREMIS-METS Decisions in a METS Profile
D-lib Magazine, 2010Co-Authors: Sally VermaatenAbstract:Shared Metadata practices foster preservation and interoperability in several ways. They facilitate inter-repository exchange, the development of reusable Metadata tools, and repository self-assessments and audits. Despite the benefits of shared practices, there has been little convergence on best practices for a widely used Metadata Strategy, PREMIS in METS. This paper proposes documenting PREMIS-METS decisions in METS profiles as a beneficial internal practice and an efficient way of sharing and comparing Metadata strategies, thereby facilitating best practices. The paper then introduces a tool to help implementers document PREMIS-METS decisions in a METS profile. This tool is a checklist of 13 key PREMIS-METS issues that a repository should consider documenting in their METS profiles. Each of the 13 issues is illustrated with examples from METS profiles currently registered with the Library of Congress
