We at CETIS are in the early stages of planning a meeting (pencilled
in for October, date and venue tbc) to collect and compare evidence on
what we know about user requirements for metadata to support the
discovery, retrieval, use and management of educational resources. We
would like to know who has what to contribute: so if you’re in the
business of creating metadata for educational resources, please would
you come and tell us what it is useful for. The aim is to move on from
ideas that people hoped would be useful when designing specifications
and application profiles and look back at what is actually useful
practice. We hope that in doing so we will help those involved in
disseminating and managing educational resources make evidence-based
decisions on what metadata they should provide.
