Abstract
Abstract In 2017, a working group was formed at Texas A&M University Libraries to propose policies that would ensure the quality and consistency of descriptive metadata in the Libraries’ new DAME (Digital Asset Management Ecosystem), which consists of multiple repositories. This article describes the process that it used to identify a “core” set of metadata elements for all resources that would be stored within the DAME, and their recommendations for a three-tiered approach to address different levels of completeness. In addition, this article describes the issues that were encountered when recommending controlled vocabularies and standards for inputting certain metadata elements.
