The NJDH Metadata Workgroup develops and implements metadata to describe and manage digital resources in the NJDH collection. The Metadata Workgroup selects metadata standards for use in the NJDH repository, establishes metadata policies and practices for creating, revising and adding metadata and works with programmers to develop tools to create and administer metadata.
