Question

Digital collections metadata often combines elements from a variety of metadata types - including administrative, descriptive, preservation, and structural metadata - in order to best ensure long-term access and preservation. For this assignment, you will assign a selection of digital collections metadata for two (2) provided digital objects using the provided template and following input guidelines listed below. If you are unsure of how to assign a certain term or how to structure your answer, use your best judgment and guess. The aim of this assignment is to provide you with hands-on experience of assigning metadata to a digital object in order to better understand the metadata concepts discussed in class and in readings. The digital objects are: 1. Image file 2. Multiple page pdf Make sure to consult the Input Guidelines (below) for instructions on how to format each field value. Optional: a word document or pdf reflecting on this activity and providing any contextual notes about the submitted metadata. **Bonus (worth 5 extra points): How would you handle and assign metadata for a digital object with multiple, individual image files, such as a multi-page digital monograph with 100 .jpeg pages? What about your approach would have to change from the approach used in this assignment? You can submit your answer as a separate word doc / pdf.
