How is Administrative Metadata Created and Managed?
Creating and managing administrative metadata involves several steps:
Metadata Standards: Using standardized formats and vocabularies to ensure consistency and interoperability. Common standards include Dublin Core, PREMIS, and METS. Automated Tools: Using software tools to automatically generate and manage metadata. These tools can extract metadata from files, track changes, and ensure compliance with standards. Manual Entry: In some cases, metadata must be manually entered by researchers or data managers, especially for complex or non-standard data. Regular Updates: Continuously updating and maintaining metadata to reflect changes in the data, such as new versions, modifications, or additional usage rights.
