> Dear all,

> You may remember that in March 2003 Jane Barton and I posted a draft
> paper on metadata creation and quality assurance for digital learning
> object repositories: "Quality Assurance for Digital
> Learning Object Repositories: The Power of Metadata". We got much
> feedback from this list and the DC-General list, as well as a number of
> other e-learning and library forums. This issue touched a cord with many
> colleagues around the world.
>
> The paper was accepted for the research strand of ALT-C 2003, and we
> updated and improved it based on the feedback we received, as well as
> adding a bit of new data from the High Level Skills for Industry
> project. The final version now has a home on the CETIS Metadata SIG
> website (thanks to Phil and Ed for giving us this hospitality!) at:
> http://metadata.cetis.ac.uk/usage_survey (scroll down the page). The new
> title is: "Quality Assurance for Digital Learning Object Repositories:
> How Should Metadata be Created?"
