Sample Administrative Metadata

The following are sample administrative-side metadata records (including all the technical, preservation, and administrative data elements that the public does not see) that have been compiled as a source of information for archivists and others working with metadata. These records were originally compiled by Lisa Miller, past Co-Chair of the Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable, in 2007. We encourage everyone to submit a sample of their metadata schema, with any comments you have about it, to the Roundtable's Steering Committee.

Unless otherwise noted, all linked records are PDF files.
