This document outlines the Metadata Research Roadmap, created by the MRC and DRIADE team, addressing key priorities and questions in metadata research. It discusses the necessity of understanding and improving metadata creation processes, ensuring quality, achieving interoperability, and promoting open access and data sharing. The roadmap emphasizes various phases from requirement assessment to system specification, and highlights the need for collaborative efforts in the field. Stakeholders are encouraged to consider long-term sustainability and the evolution of metadata practices.

Metadata Research / Views… • Bill Arms (CS Dept., Cornell) • Metadata is expensive, we don't need it • We've spent too much on metadata (and metadata meetings) • Michael Lesk (Rutgers, LIS; 1998-2002, head of the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems NSF,) • I dislike funding metadata projects, because they always recommend that every other project should be more expensive • Carl Lagoze (IS Program, Cornell) • We need a better understanding about what we are trying to do with metadata • Jane Hunter (University of Queensland) • http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~jane/jane-hunter/LibTrends_paper.pdf (Working Towards MetaUtopia)

Metadata Research Questions 1. What metadata is needed? (making headway) • Levels, schemes, model/s 2. How should we create metadata? Automatic generation, automatic processes to assist humans 3. Who should create it? 4. What metadata applications are needed? 5. How can we ensure metadata quality?Automatic evaluation 6. How can we achieve interoperability?Dynamic vocabulary • At what level do we need interoperability? integration & maintenance 7. How can we sustain/preserve metadata or objects? 8. How can we promote open access/data sharing of metadata/data? Preservation of context, authenticity, integrity, the life cycle of the resource and the metadata…
