This paper presents and discusses preliminary results of the exploration of accuracy, completeness, and consistency of metadata records that were created by students enrolled in the introductory graduate metadata course in an ALA-accredited LIS program. Our analysis identified metadata fields which pose challenges to learners in practicing creation of VRA Core 4.0 metadata records to represent paintings.

Metadata plays a vital role in the discovery and management of these collections. Existing frameworks to identify and address deficiencies in metadata rely heavily on count and data-value based metrics that are calculated over aggregations of descriptive metadata. There has been little research into the use of traditional network analysis to investigate the connections between metadata records based on shared data values in metadata fields such as subject or creator. This study introduces metadata record graphs as a mechanism to generate network-based statistics to support analysis of metadata. These graphs are constructed with the metadata records as the nodes and shared metadata field values as the edges in the network. By analyzing metadata record graphs with algorithms and tools common to the field of network analysis, metadata managers can develop a new understanding of their metadata that is often impossible to generate from count and data-value based statistics alone. This study tested application of metadata record graphs to analysis of metadata collections of increasing size, complexity, and interconnectedness in a series of three related stages. The findings of this research indicate effectiveness of this new method, identify network algorithms that are useful for analyzing descriptive metadata and suggest methods and practices for future implementations of this technique.", "thesisType": "", "university": "University of North Texas", "place": "Denton, Texas", "date": "2020-08", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "152", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "phillipsExploringUseMetadata2020", "url": "https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1707350/", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise noted.

The technical tool for implementing this infrastructure are repositories. Repositories facilitate the collection, publishing and distribution of data in a centralized and possibly standardize way. Metadata is used to catalog and organize the provided data. The operationality and interoperability depends on the metadata quality. Quantifying the metadata quality can help to measure the efficiency of a repository and discover low-quality metadata records which prevent the user from finding what he/she is looking for. For this a wide range of metrics from the field of metadata quality assessment are researched and implemented. Current approaches should be adopted to the specifics of open government data repositories but also new approaches should be explored to fit the requirements. In order to show the feasibility of these metrics a platform is implemented which demonstrates the automatic quality assessment of different repositories. A harvester component is used to gather metadata from different repositories.

The quality of these enrichments is crucial to ensure that highly curated content from providers gets represented correctly across different languages. To ensure that those enrichments unfold their whole potential and act as facilitators of access, a semantic and multilingual enrichment strategy is needed. The EuropeanaTech Task Force on a Multilingual and Semantic Enrichment Strategy set out to analyze datasets in Europeana and to evaluate them with regard to their enrichment potential and the enrichments that were executed. The goal was to drive a strategy for enriching metadata fields adding value for users. To achieve this, the members of the task force held a one-day workshop in Berlin where they analyzed randomly selected datasets from Europeana, their metadata fields and their enrichment potential. This report aggregates the results and derives findings and recommendations regarding the metadata quality (source), vocabulary used (target) and the enrichment process. It was found that especially during mapping and ingestion time, metadata quality issues arise that influence the success of the enrichments. Tackling these issues with better documentation, training and the establishment of quality scores are some of the recommendations in this field. Furthermore, Europeana should encourage the delivery of specialized vocabularies with resolvable URIs which would also lead to less need for enrichments by Europeana itself. With regard to the enrichment process, clear rules for each field need to be established.", "reportNumber": "", "reportType": "Task Force Report", "institution": "Europeana", "place": "", "date": "2014-04-07", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesNumber": "", "pages": "44", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "simonEuropeanaTechTaskForce2014a", "url": "http://pro.europeana.eu/get-involved/europeana-tech/europeanatech-task-forces/multilingual-and-semantic-enrichment-strategy", "accessDate": "2016-05-19", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "#nosource" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-05-19T20:15:58Z", "dateModified": "2026-02-16T10:06:13Z" } }, { "key": "MRHIDS8P", "version": 2296, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 488224, "name": "Metadata Assessment", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/metadata_assessment", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/488224/items/MRHIDS8P", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/metadata_assessment/items/MRHIDS8P", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 2986394, "username": "f8f8ff", "name": "Sara R.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/f8f8ff", "type": "text/html" } } }, "lastModifiedByUser": { "id": 5875060, "username": "alexander.winkler", "name": "Alexander Winkler", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/alexander.winkler", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Loshin", "parsedDate": "2013", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "MRHIDS8P", "version": 2296, "itemType": "document", "title": "Building a Data Quality Scorecard for Operational Data Governance", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "David", "lastName": "Loshin" } ], "abstractNote": "Operational data governance is the manifestation of the processes and protocols necessary to ensure that an acceptable level of confidence in the data effectively satisfies the organization’s business needs.
