Metadata & Database Quality unit
Mission
- The Metadata & Database Quality unit applies traditional cataloging expertise to the growing array of projects
within the NCSU Libraries that involve providing access to digital content, as well as to maintenance of the Libraries'
catalog and other databases. This group provides both consulting to other departments within the Libraries who are
involved with digitization efforts, R&D within the Metadata and Cataloging Department, and training of department staff
in applying largely XML-based metadata to digital objects. In addition, MDQ has responsibility for the receipt and
processing of the Libraries' federal depository collection.
- The Metadata & Database Quality unit manages controlled subject
vocabularies for the Libraries' Website and provides consulting services for the selection,
building, and maintenance of vocabularies for other projects within the University.
- We also provide data transformation services, to move data between parallel schemas (MARC to XML,
EAD to MARC, VRA Core to DC, etc.) and from application formats (generally from spreadsheets or databases)
to structured metadata.
