[Metadatalibrarians] Help for a beginner

[Allegra Gonzalez]

Dear Aimee,

In our collection, Matrimonial Investigation Records of the San Gabriel
Mission http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/collection.php?alias=/mir ,
we map the "Names - Men" and "Names - Women" to DC subject. Since these
records are signed, that name is listed in the Creator field and mapped
to DC creator. 

To see the metadata for an item, look for "view document description" in
upper left panel and click "go"

Subject: [Metadatalibrarians] Help for a beginner

Here at Santa Clara University we are scanning the pages of baptismal
and marriage records of the Mission Santa Clara. Some of the entries are
not legible so we have created an excel spreadsheet with the names of
the brides and grooms and officiants, with a column for the dates.
 
Can anyone recommend some sites that have done similar projects that I
could look at? The metadata needs to be crosswalked to Dublin Core and
are just duplicated entries of what is being scanned. I am tempted to
put the brides, grooms and officiants in a subject element. If I do, is
there any way to distinguish what kind of subjects they are with
different labels? Bride  Groom Officiant (or is the subject element
restricted to one label?)
 
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
 
Thank you,
