Metadata strategy (2005-)
Strategy for managing metadata:
- Linking different metadata systems together in an integratedsystem, making metadata easily accessible for all users,updated in one place and used ”everywhere”.
Several measures aimed at improving management of metadata:
- Definition of key metadata concepts
- Metadata portal
- Definition of clear roles and responsibilities
Metadata portal
- The overall purpose of the metadata portal is to make Statistics Norway's metadata systems more accessible and easier to use
- The portal helps managers to follow up the coverage and quality of the contents of the underlying metadata systems.
Actions that promote metadata work:
-Making formal documents (e.g. Metadata strategy)
-Step-wise development of metadata systems
-Continuous follow-up of progress
-Releasing metadata on the Internet
Challenges:
- Allocating the necessary resources
- Harmonisation of metadata
- Including metadata in the production cycle
