Metadata Templates

Metadata is descriptive information that is essential for creating access to digital items like your digitized items. Maine Contemporary Archives use the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, a widely adopted standard for describing digital items. For more information, visit: https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dces/.

This kit includes a blank Dublin Core Metadata Template, as well as a template with explanations about how to use each Dublin Core element.
