Dataset metadata

moved from the community portal.

What metadata will be needed for every dataset?


 * Original title
 * TrustLet title
 * Source (organization,website,contact info, permissions info, misc not covered by specific fields
 * Date(s):range, fixed/growing, date acquired by TrustLet,
 * Trust metrics ON the data source, the data itself, confidence in the security of transmission and translation to TrustLet and TrustLet standard data elements.
 * Format of the source data (lots of possibilities here)
 * form/process of data transfer
 * Status of the dataset
 * Referenced in TrustLet
 * Request for import
 * In Discussion for import
 * Selected by TrustLet for import
 * Cleared by both parties (source and TrustLet) for import
 * raw import
 * initial conversion into database
 * data cleaned and verified
 * converted to Standard TrustLet Data Elements
 * available for research use
 * currency of data (up-to-date, out-of-date, obsolete, replaced by/replacing
 * What trust categories the data fit into/cover/are valid for (...more on this later/in another area...)
 * Which researcher requested inclusion
 * importer
 * Which researcher converted to ...x,y,z
 * Which researcher used
 * What metadata will be needed for some datasets
 * Which researcher used for accepted paper (thesis,online or regular journal), and reference to the paper

This is a great page of great ideas! Maybe we could use it to create a template for the datasets? --PaoloMassa 09:19, 17 August 2007 (PDT)
