FRAMING THIS TALK
![Page 3: METADB: A DISTRIBUTED METADATA CREATION TOOL · “admin” users have access to project and user management tabs precise control of project and user access. read only access. project](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052006/601aa4292b7ece4ff64a81a4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
HOW BEST TO OVERCOME OUR STAFFING ISSUES?
BY USING TECHNOLOGY TO HARNESS OUR STRENGTHS
![Page 4: METADB: A DISTRIBUTED METADATA CREATION TOOL · “admin” users have access to project and user management tabs precise control of project and user access. read only access. project](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052006/601aa4292b7ece4ff64a81a4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DECENTRALIZE THE PROCESS
Big digitization programs are centralized
Our commercial workflow tools reflected this organization
Works fine for well-staffed departments
We wanted something more flexible and easier to use

AN IDEA IS BORN
Needed an abstraction layer
Based on Dublin Core, but not tied to it
metadata exportable to common CSV and TSV formats
Build with standard Open Source technologies: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, YUI JavaScript framework

Digital Initiatives Librarian defines project requirements
Students record basic technical details while scanning
Librarians, Archivists, and Faculty subject specialists provide administrative and descriptive metadata
Digital Initiatives Librarian exports completed metadata records to asset management system

WORKFLOW ADVANTAGES
Can farm metadata tasks to experts on and off-campus
Multiple users work concurrently and at their own pace
Can automate where possible to simplify data entry
Provides single interface for storing and editing metadata
No client-side software to install and easy to train users
![Page 20: METADB: A DISTRIBUTED METADATA CREATION TOOL · “admin” users have access to project and user management tabs precise control of project and user access. read only access. project](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052006/601aa4292b7ece4ff64a81a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION
Warner example
Constant development
Faculty and librarians learn from each other
Equal partners
Better than either could have done alone
Campus interest

FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF METADB
Currently wrapping up next version
Plan to make it open source
C.S. class project will re-write in Java
Better project management, use statistics, transformations from CSV/TSV to DSpace, CONTENTdm collections
