The group met 2-3 times this quarter.
Recent Activities
First Activity
Continued work on the Assessment for Fields in Metadata Standards project. The committee is continuing the information gathering around assessment of fields/elements in metadata standards. The literature review has revealed some adjacent research, but nothing specifically like the proposed “Metadata Assessment Framework”. Next steps include arranging the committee into research groups to begin modeling the framework.
