HomeMetadata Implementation Group
The Metadata Implementation Group was formed to implement digital library initiatives at the University of Oregon Libraries. Some of its members previously served on the Digital Library Initiative. The diglib discussion list continues to serve as a discussion forum for any member of the University of Oregon Libraries community who is interested in digital library efforts. There is a separate discussion list for the members of the Metadata Implementation Group that is set up at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~catdept/meta-data/.

Original Charge:
The Metadata Implementation Group was originally charged to:
- Define the data elements the UO Libraries will use for describing digital resources and develop a data dictionary for each project;
- Consider the existence of crosswalks and interoperability in those decisions; and
- Consider the use of standardized lists of names or subject terms, such as the Online Name Authority File, LCSH, AAT, etc.
New Directions:
As the group has worked on implementing digital collections, its charge has naturally expanded. Aspects of the group's work not covered in the original charge include:
- Investigating and implementing digital library systems, including but not limited to CONTENTdm
- Setting metadata and other digital library standards for the Libraries and the campus
- Developing core sets of metadata elements to be used by digital projects
- Reviewing and refining existing best practices document for Access to Digital Collections to produce a set of comprehensive guidelines addressing access, the digitization of library materials, and the management and preservation of digital objects
- Providing guidance in ensuring the interoperability of university digital collections in conformance with national and international standards
- Investigating rights management issues related to digital collections and recommending policies to ensure appropriate use of collections
- Addressing training and continuing education needs in support of digital library initiatives, e.g. Dublin Core, XML, OAI, etc.
