LITA / ALCTS Metadata Standards Committee – February 2019 Report


The group met 4-6 times this quarter.

Recent Activities

First Activity
The committee got support from the LITA executive board to move to a rotating Chair/Vice-Chair (Chair Elect) model to better support to continuing work of the committee. The ALCTS Co-Chair is communicating with the ALCTS board for approval from them. Additionally, I communicated with the LITA Appointments Committee to assist with the appointment for next year's committee chair. We're also working to get the appointments back in alignment, since they got out of sync this year.

Continued work on the Assessment for Fields in Metadata Standards project. The committee has selected a data model for assessing standards and will be moving into the testing phase to ensure the model works before any additional work is completed.

Third Activity
The committee has begun investigating options for moving the committee blog, Metaware.Buzz from a personally hosted location to something under the ALA umbrella.
