The Information Management Division of The Treasury Board of Canada
Secretariat is currently planning to train the federal departments and
agencies with the implementation of metadata standards on their websites.
Before the training, we would like to conduct a survey to find the training
needs.
The Objective of the survey is to find:
* How prepared the departments are with metadata implementation
* How can we assist departments in assessing the metadata quality.
* The gaps between practical metadata implementation and the standard
metadata.
* What resources we need in order to plan the training.
The following is the sample questionnaire:
1. When did you begin to implement metadata in your website?_______
2. What is the most difficult metadata element to decide? (you can
choose more than one)
1) Title
2) Creator
3) Subject or keyword
4) Language
5) Description
6) Date
7) Other, please specify__________
3. Do you use controlled vocabulary when choosing subjects or keywords?
1) Yes 2) No
4. Who provides metadata elements?
1) Creator 2) Specialist 3) Other, please
specify
5. Do you use CLF (Common Look and Feel) Metadata Implementation
Guides?
1) Yes 2) No
We would like to share some background information if anyone had done
similar work before.
We solicit suggestions and proposals about the survey.
