“…While discussing issues and challenges stemming from iLumina project experiences, McClelland et al also present mismatches of imported metadata from data providers such as missing and incorrect data value. 40 Sokvitne discussed inaccuracies in DC metadata application drawn from 20 Australian government and educational organizations. 41 He found that the highest instances (58%) of duplication of the same data value occur with metadata elements such as creator, contributor, and publisher (see Park and Caplan on semantic overlap and inaccurate application of these elements 42 ).…”

This study presents the current state of research and practice on metadata quality through focus on the functional perspective on metadata quality, measurement, and evaluation criteria coupled with mechanisms for improving metadata quality. Quality metadata reflect the degree to which the metadata in question perform the core bibliographic functions of discovery, use, provenance, currency, authentication, and administration. The functional perspective is closely tied to the criteria and measurements used for assessing metadata quality. Accuracy, completeness, and consistency are the most common criteria used in measuring metadata quality in the literature. Guidelines embedded within a Web form or template perform a valuable function in improving the quality of the metadata. Results of the study indicate a pressing need for the building of a common data model that is interoperable across digital repositories.

“…This is principally observed when metadata creators record the names and dates associated with resources in different orders (McClelland, McArthur, Giersch, & Geisler, 2002;Ryan & Walmsley, 2003). Similarly, when there is no enforcement of any vocabulary scheme, metadata creators are free to use their own vocabularies, resulting in inconsistency across records .…”

“…8 A group of UNCW science faculty in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics entered into discussions with science faculty at Georgia State University, Grand Valley State University (Michigan), Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and researchers at the higher education service provider Eduprise. Together they recognized that science educators around the country were creating valuable digital resources for teaching, and that many of the educators were eager to share these learning objects.…”
