You are invited to participate in a survey that will help investigators
gain insight into the methods and criteria for evaluating metadata quality
in digital repositories and to identify potential gaps in present knowledge
and practices. The results from this survey will inform guidelines and
suggestions for institutions that want to increase metadata quality
assessment activities.

This study is being conducted by the Metadata Quality Benchmarks Working
Group, part of the Digital Library Federation Forum Assessment Interest
Group Metadata Working Group, to investigate metadata quality and how it is
measured in libraries, archives, and museums.

Anyone who is self-identifying as a metadata professional and is currently
employed in a library, archive, museum or other cultural heritage
institution is invited to participate. Specifically, eligible participants
for this study will be individuals with some responsibility for metadata
management and/or creation for a digital repository. One respondent per
digital repository is encouraged. The survey should take roughly 15-30
minutes to complete. A PDF of the survey is available for preview.
