Metadata is an indispensable part of any digital collection,
especially when this digital item is included in the online inventory of the digital institutions.
This data can provide information about a text's author, publishers, copy right and a brief description
of the contents. After a long research discussion and codification by several digitization institutions
at the international level, a broad consensus has been arrived at to standardized Metadata Best Practices.
The Dublin Core Metadata (DCM) best practice has been universally adopted for preparing metadata about
digital collections by almost all digitization institutions. PDL Metadata Schema (PDLMS) has been
developed after studying DCM schema and it consists of all the mandatory and optional elements of DCM
Metadata Schema as well as a few elements which are required for local and regional needs. |
