Check with your organization about what descriptive, administrative, technical, rights, and preservation metadata for your digital content. There are both automated and manual methods of extracting and creating metadata. Metadata for digital content may be produced in different parts of an organization and some of that metadata may be duplicative. A tool can also create or extract the same metadata as another because of their similar purposes. The COPTR website is a good place to look for and learn about metadata tools such as for metadata extraction.
Question for your team/organization: What are your DP services provider’s metadata requirements for the digital content they will be working with you to preserve? Does the transfer / Ingest tool create some of the technical and preservation metadata? TDL members contact TDL for more information and assistance.
