[Metadatalibrarians] Metadata remediation tools?

[Waibel,Guenter]

Hi Greta,

Some of my colleagues in RLG Programs organized a forum earlier in the year which showcased a number of metadata tools. Below is the copy-and-paste. Go to http://www.oclc.org/programs/events/2008-05-08.htm for functioning links to the pdf's profiling the tools.

Cheers,
Günter

Hello,

I'm currently working on a project for DLF Aquifer to identify,  
inventory, and possibly test metadata remediation tools.  Aquifer uses  
MODS records, but we're also looking at tools designed for Dublin Core  
or other types of metadata, or even tools not designed for metadata  
but adaptable.  I thought i'd turn to the folks on this list to ask to  
see if any of you are currently using any metadata tools of this sort  
and if you'd be willing to share information about it.   I'd also like  
to hear about tools that you haven't tried but know about, as well as  
anything you may have tried and found not satisfactory.

Feel free to respond either publicly (a discussion would be ideal) or  
privately, whichever you want

Thanks,
Greta de Groat
