2. What
is
Metadata?
Ø Metadata
is
“data
about
data”
Ø Cataloging
-­‐
most
basic
form
of
metadata
Ø Iden0fies
content
Ø Outlines
technical
processes
Ø Describes
Administra0ve
rights
and
permissions
Ø Iden0fies
file
formats,
and
the
rela0onship
of
files
to
one
another

3.
There
are
Three
Broad
Categories
of
Metadata
Types
of
Metadata
Administra0ve
Metadata
is
either
technical
metadata
or
digiprov,
which
is
the
transfer
history
of
the
digital
object.
It
also
includes
copyright
history
and
licensing
agreements

4. Why
does
Metadata
Matter?
ì Metadata
is
important
for
the
preserva0on
of
audio
recordings
ì Without
the
appropriate
metadata
accompanying
a
digital
file,
the
digital
object
is
not
complete
and
renders
the
digital
file
useless
for
research
ì In
order
for
metadata
to
be
for
preserva0on,
it
must
include
administra0ve,
structural
and
descrip0ve
metadata
(PREMIS)

5. Issues
with
Metadata
in
the
Field
Ø Metadata
Standards
are
not
Uniform
Ø There
is
no
one
widely
accepted
Metadata
Standard

6. Further
Problems
with
Metadata
Ø Seman0c
Disagreements
Ø Workflow
Discrepancies
Ø Incompa0ble
So`ware
Ø Lack
of
Universal
Classifica0on
Ø Inherent
issues
to
BWF
Files
