Abstract

At the NSDL AM 2004, the SIG titled What's in the NSDL Metadata Repository? The Technical, Cataloging, and Evaluations Challenges at the NSDL All Projects Meeting brings together technical, cataloging, and evaluation experts to identify methods to determine the breadth and depth of the metadata repository. During this session we will develop a plan to characterize the contents of the NSDL Metadata Repository in terms of subject, audience, and type. Three position papers are presented as a prelude to the plan. They include: #1: Title: Report of the NSDL Evaluations Controlled Vocabulary Project Date: 10/1/2004 Committee Members Boots Cassel cassel@acm.org Casey Jones caseyj@ucar.edu Mimi Recker mimi.recker@usu.edu Judy Ridgway Jridgway@enc.org (Working Group Chair) Tammy Sumner sumner@Colorado.EDU # 2: Title: Metadata Elements in the NSDL Metadata Repository: Results of a Preliminary Quality Analysis: Subject, Type, Audience Authors: Gregory M.
