What are Metadata Standards?

Metadata is data documentation that helps you understand your data, and helps other researchers find, use, and properly cite your data.

If possible, use the standards of your discipline.

Digital Curation Centre (DCC): Provides links to metadata standards for a variety of disciplines

Other standards include:

Dublin Core: Non-disciplinary
DataCite Metadata Schema: Non-disciplinary
Library of Congress Preservation Formats
Data Documentation Initiative (DDI): International standard for statistical and social science data.
