Abstract

The creation of an item-level metadata repository as a component of the Digital Collections and Content project has created a unique opportunity to compare metadata practices from various contributing collections and institutions. Provided here is a summary of contributing collections’ metadata practices as aggregated into our local databases. During the first three years of the project, metadata was harvested using the Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) in unqualified Dublin Core (DC) format. All statistics presented here reflect standard, unqualified Dublin Core elements and usage.
