Metadata Quality

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives”

William A. Foster

Metadata – Repository

  • Quality of Metadata

– Mainly manual annotation

  • Errors are 100% human generated!

– Many cases of resources with:

  • All Mandatory elements filled
  • Half of the Recommended
  • Few or none of the optional
slide-33
SLIDE 33

TERENA TF Media Meeting 18-19 March, 2010, Athens, Greece

Our solution

  • Random manual sampling of resources

– Checked the metadata – Identified mistakes – Asked partners to correct these and all similar cases

slide-34
SLIDE 34

TERENA TF Media Meeting 18-19 March, 2010, Athens, Greece

Our solution

  • Set up a Metadata Quality Review

Mechanism

– Created a Metadata Review Grid assessing:

  • Completeness, Accuracy, Appropriateness,

Correctness, etc

– Assigned 120 resources to 24 reviewers

  • They assigned other partners’ resources only

– Collected feedback and followed up with comments, corrections

Challenges

slide-36
SLIDE 36

TERENA TF Media Meeting 18-19 March, 2010, Athens, Greece

challenges

  • hidden tasks associated to

multilingualism of the tools

  • additional back-end services required
  • links change over time  automatic link

checker needed

  • support of peer-review quality

mechanism for the resources

slide-37
SLIDE 37

TERENA TF Media Meeting 18-19 March, 2010, Athens, Greece

challenges

  • High quality metadata support sufficient

searching

  • Lacking metadata fields make resources

invisible

  • High quality metadata require annotation

effort from the experts

  • How do we get the experts to spend the extra

time?
