DESCRIPTION

Following a short business meeting, we will have breakout discussion groups on three topics that members have expressed interest in during recent discussion posts and focus groups:

Challenges with mass description of digital objects
What kind of metadata do we create about provenance?
Metadata about potentially harmful material in digital collections

Each topic will be briefly introduced by an MDOS member before we split up into breakout rooms. Discussion will not be recorded. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with colleagues who are also thinking about these topics!
