Hello, all -
The DLF-AIG Metadata Assessment Working Group (MWG) is pleased to announce the public release of benchmarks for metadata quality: https://dlfmetadataassessment.github.io/MetadataQualityBenchmarks/
This suite of pages includes the benchmarks as well as supporting documentation.
Benchmarks include minimal, suggested better-than-minimal, and ideal criteria for descriptive metadata quality, primarily related to cultural heritage and digital library materials.  The expanded benchmarks outline metrics and examples to show how the benchmarks might be applied.
Supporting documentation is intended to supplement the benchmarks by providing [1] questions to answer before benchmarking, to help organizations think through how they want to approach these activities; [2] various quality metrics synthesized from a number of metadata frameworks that could be used by organizations to develop local better-than-minimal standards; and [3] citations and other reference materials on related topics for further reading.
See the full blog post announcement here: https://www.diglib.org/benchmarks-for-metadata-quality/
Best,

Hannah Tarver,
on behalf of the
DLF-AIG Metadata Working Group
