Lynn:
Metadata requirements were part of the project discussions. This included what type of materials that the faculty wanted to collect and then finding a metadata schema that would fit their project. Most of the time, we used Dublin Core [ http://dublincore.org/ ]. We are also researching PBCore [ http://pbcore.org/ ] which is a metadata schema designed to describe both digital and analog media (including sound and moving images) and is Dublin Core friendly with an Omeka Plugin [ http://omeka.org/add-ons/plugins/pbcore-element-set/ ] if Omeka.org [ http://omeka.org/ ] is used.
Lynn:
We also discuss input rules for the appropriate schema. Here is an example…

One of the tabs on the UTA Omeka LibGuide [ http://libguides.uta.edu/omeka/home ] is “Labeling Content” [ http://libguides.uta.edu/omeka/label ] where you can find resources. A couple of resources are “Omeka: Metadata and Content Organization Guide: Metadata” [ http://libguides.umw.edu/c.php?g=424335&p=2899010 ] from the UMW Libraries and a handout titled “Dublin Core Metadata and Item Creation in Omeka” [ http://libguides.uta.edu/ld.php?content_id=21568493 ] from UTA Libraries. There is also an “Introduction to Metadata & Databases” [ http://libguides.uta.edu/Rambsy/metadata ] Power Point Presentation that was offered to one of the faculty’s classes.
