If you work with metadata—or just want to learn more about it—you won’t
want to miss NISO’s next virtual conference! Join us to hear about best
practices and the latest challenges and developments in ensuring metadata
quality.

VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Metadata and Discovery: Quality is Key
<https://www.niso.org/events/metadata-and-discovery-quality-key>

Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 12:00–4:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)

What is the role of metadata in discovery, access, and use? Is it working?
Is our metadata satisfying the requirements of the rising population of
students, readers, and researchers? How do content and platform providers
ensure that their metadata is high quality? Who is responsible for
assigning it and ensuring its interoperability across multiple systems?

Metadata is critical to success, but it is increasingly complicated to work
with. For example, in addition to descriptive metadata, individuals may
also need specific legal or administrative metadata in order to clarify
appropriate rights for usage. This virtual conference will bring together
experts from across the information community to discuss current behaviors,
practices, and applications for metadata.
