Experiences in Deploying Public Metadata Analysis Tools Dr. David Nichols

Current institutional repository software provides few tools to help metadata librarians understand and analyse their collections. In this talk I will discuss two metadata analysis tools: the MAT tool from the New Zealand Digital Library Project at Waikato and the KRIS tool from the National Library of New Zealand. MAT is a public on-demand analyser that uses heuristics and visualisations to aid in metadata assessment. KRIS is part of a national discovery service for research held in institutional repositories and is based around agreed metadata guidelines. Experiences in building and deploying these tools provide a checklist of requirements for future metadata tool provision.
