Metadata standards
have set elements
Controlled vocabularies,
thesauri or standards can be
used to ‘fill’ these elements
Qualifiers can be used to
add context and meaning
Note the ‘provenance’ – where
things have come from to
enhance trust
Benefits of using standards
Better discovery
More context
Easier data reuse
Less working out from scratch
More time-saving tools…
Recommend ‘Flying the flag of metadata standards’
