    believe it or not, the template has increased to:
    Project Name
    Description
    Contact
    Status
    Technology Creation
    Technology Access
    Metadata
    Original format (eg. audio, video, etc)
    File format
    Initiated how, why?
    Collaboration(s)

    (this is for UC libraries projects.

    What do you suppose "technology creation"
    means? I notice no one filled it in on the
    UC-libraries-projects spreadsheet;
    so I'm going to ask.

    As I understand it, descriptive metadata
    is: author, title, publisher and that sort of
    thing.
    Administrative metadata has to do with
    who did the scanning, what the scanning equipment
    is, and so on.
    It complicates matters that in standard
    cataloging we do tend to include at least
    some of the administrative metadata in
    with the bibliographic record,
    because we don't make the differentiation
    between the two.

    I'm actually a little confused by a few of the categories...what is the difference between description and descriptive except that one is in the metadata? Isn't all this metadata?? What is administrative? Help!

        * Description

            write description here

        * Status

            write status here

        * Hardware

            write description of equipment, include ppi

        * Software

            write description of the software

        * Metadata

        *
              o Descriptive:

            you get the idea, right?

        *
              o Administrative:

            same thing for this?

        *
              o Georeferencing:

            this could be a yes/no, no?

    Sincerely,

    looks good! basic info, enough for
    persons to understand what's going on,
    but not so much info that it takes
    a relatively long time to fill in.

    Hi Mary et al -

    How about something like this: http://wiki.library.ucla.edu/CalMap_Digital_Project_Inventory

    Technology Platform was a little confusing for me -so I changed that to Hardware, Software. Does that mean the same thing?

    Thanks,
    Kris

    Here is the original template:
    a. Project name
    b. Description (short)
    c. Contact person(s)
    d. Status
    e. Technology platform

    Something like this would be better;
    am sure you all can come up with
    other improvements.

    Template:
    a. Project name
    b. Description (short)
    c. Contact person(s)
    d. Status
    e. Technology platform:
            - equipment (including ppi)

    f. Metadata
            - descriptive
            - administrative
            - georeferencing
