Recent initiatives involving the development of digital repositories for the storage and access of resources and learning objects have highlighted the role and importance of metadata.
The presentation describes some of the findings of an investigation into metadata used for repositories. This presentation will give a basic understanding of metadata and its importance for successful retrieval, looking briefly at the main standards and schemes in current use, and the need for quality assurance. A collaborative approach between library, technical and teaching staff may be a solution to the creation of quality metadata.
