For projects that do not involve LDPD, the Metadata Coordinator works closely with the staff located in the library/division from which the project originates and the functional reporting structure aligns on a project-level. For example, a project is in-progress to test the feasibility of moving the metadata of Columbia's Columbia’s institutional repository, Academic Commons, from MODS 3.4 to MODS/RDF. In this case, the Metadata Coordinator works with the Academic Commons team located at the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS). The CDRS staff then reports to the Director of CDRS.

In addition to functional reporting structure within LTS, the Science Data and Metadata Librarian's Librarian’s (SDML) research data management work is, in part, derived from CUL's CUL’s Data Executive Committee, with sponsorship by the Director of Information Technology and Chief Technology Strategist and additional direction from the AUL for Digital Scholarship and Preservation Services and the AUL for Scholarly Resources and Special Collections. As of the summer of 2013, CUL is in the process of transforming the Data Executive group into a Repositories Executive group, but the SDML will likely continue to actively participate and receive direction from the activities of this newly formed committee. The SDML also reports to the Research Data Management Service Group (RDMSG), which is sponsored by the Vice Provost for Research and the University Librarian; additional RDMSG direction is provided by a management council, made up of representatives from the major Cornell University data management service providers, and a faculty advisory board. The SDML, as the RDMSG coordinator, reports to sponsors and advisors, and is given immediate oversight by the Associate University Librarian for Teaching, Research, Outreach and Learning Services.
