1st phase metadata•Simple Dublin Core
▫See example on your handout▫This format is required for OAI-PMH▫But you can supplement it!
•DC usage guide for sheet music▫Reproduced on your handout▫Guidance on dealing with descriptive issues
for sheet music not obvious in DC▫Attempt to gain more consistency across
aggregated metadata

So where can we go from here?•We need more robust description –
MODS?▫See handout for an example
•Many implementers just want a set of rules to follow!
•We have an opportunity to build community consensus around description for sheet music▫But we need tools to make it easier

Future of the SMC
•Needs to grow!•Enhanced end-user functionality
▫De-duplication of results?▫Tagging, other means of contributing
metadata?▫Integration into tools like Zotero?
•More help for contributors▫Additional metadata guidelines?▫Selection for digitization?▫Copy cataloging?
