NDIIPP Access Project Building on Metadata NDIIPP Partner Meeting June 25, 2009 NDIIPP Access Project - 2 Perfect Metadata Is NOT Required Complete Metadata is NOT Required Good Metadata IS Useful Good Can Be Improved Over Time and Can Become Better Exploration Works Well You Can See What Works and What Will Work Better NDIIPP Access Project - 3 All You Need to Start: - Multiple Tag/Value Records (Mark-up Language XML MODS) OR - Multiple Rows/Columns (Spreadsheet XLS) How Will Your Data Fit? - Tag Cloud, Map, List, Faceted Browse, Timeline, Single-Collection Search NDIIPP Access Project - 4 Focus is put on the most commonly used elements. The elements that provide key access points such as dates and locations should be as clear as possible so that the data is the most accurate and consistent for presentations. The better the data can be, the better the results.
