Introduction
Establishing Key Stakeholders and Steering Groups
for the Repository Establish Metadata elements and interpretation of
those elements Software, hardware (server storage) and
parameters for Metadata Schema Time table completion
Class partitioned into groups of three
Regular Online Class meetings were set aside for students to present a metadata schema for class exposure and to determine which schema would be used for the indexing project

Wikis, Blogs, Tweets and Presentations
A wiki was created to centralize element’s definition and served as a knowledge resource center for the project
Dublin Core and VRA Core were the front runners for the schema of choice at the first part of the semester
Students were required to publish 5 blog entries per week and tweet using the hashtags #ls566 and #metadata

Metadata Schema
The class chose to use a modified version of Dublin Core Element interpretation was determined by groups of 4 in the
form of a process of elimination Customized Mapping of Elements mainly followed simple
Dublin Core standards

The Process
The indexing process lasted throughout part of the summer due to a tornado that crossed the state of Alabama
The storm caused severe damage throughout the northwest section of Alabama including the city of Tuscaloosa where the University of Alabama resides
Some students worked on the project despite not having running water and maintained communication via tweets and blog entries
