Abstract

This document specifies the metadata element set used in all MAGIRT collections in the American Library Association Institutional Repository (ALAIR), including preservation metadata and metadata that is for internal use (operational metadata elements). While some of these elements may not apply to all collections, others are required by all collections. This document also provides general specification for each metadata element. Detailed specification of these elements is provided in the individual collection’s index guidelines.

Description
