CMS Metadata Interoperability Project:
'Ensuring Metadata Interoperability Across Scottish Content Management
Systems and Digital Repositories: Guidelines for Best Practice'
Based at the Centre
for Digital Library Research and funded by the Scottish
Library and Information Council (SLIC) with support from the National
Library of Scotland and the Scottish
Museums Council, the primary focus of the CMS Metadata Interoperability
project will be to offer a 'safe path' towards standards-based interoperability
of descriptive, administrative, technical, structural, and behavioural
metadata in Scottish distributed digital libraries. The primary deliverable
will be the compilation and dissemination of guidelines for best practice
in choosing and using metadata for the management of simple and complex
digital objects in the Scottish Common Information Environment.
