Metadata for research outputs: Australian and overseas contexts

A presentation by Debbie Campbell at Educause Australasia 2005

Abstract

As institutional repositories start to embed themselves into the national information infrastructure, information managers are concerned about describing research outputs in the most effective way for longevity of access and preservation purposes. The selection of appropriate metadata schemas is a difficult process, in part because of the wide range of possible research output types which need to be described.

This brief overview will give examples of some of metadata approaches in use in the United States and the United Kingdom as well as Australia .
