Charge
The Cornell University Library (CUL) Metadata Working Group was formed in 2001 as an open forum for all staff to discuss metadata issues facing the library. Ross Atkinson established the following charge for the group:
The Metadata Working Group serves as an open forum for all interested CUL staff to learn about and to discuss information on all issues relating to metadata. Specifically, the purpose of the group will be:
- To exchange information about metadata and its application to all library functions; this exchange will include information about uses of metadata in CUL, as well as information about broader metadata developments, nationally and internationally.
- To provide an opportunity for feedback on the potential and the impact of intended developments or uses of metadata in CUL.
- To make recommendations on policy decisions relating to metadata that need to be made by CUL.
