Experiences in Deploying Public Metadata Analysis Tools
This event took place on Friday 15 May 2009 at 11:30
Dr. David Nichols University of Waikato, New Zealand
Current institutional repository software provides few tools to help metadata librarians understand and analyse their collections. In this talk I will discuss two metadata analysis tools: the MAT tool from the New Zealand Digital Library Project at Waikato and the KRIS tool from the National Library of New Zealand. MAT is a public on-demand analyser that uses heuristics and visualisations to aid in metadata assessment. KRIS is part of a national discovery service for research held in institutional repositories and is based around agreed metadata guidelines. Experiences in building and deploying these tools provide a checklist of requirements for future metadata tool provision.
