It does not hold all of our museum-specific metadata. We also have an Access database where any administrative metadata is held. Any work that needs to be captured about the object is captured there. Only descriptive metadata goes into the CDM instance.</p> <p>This plays to CDM's strengths as a place to access digitized archival/photographic materials and not necessarily as a content management system or true digital repository (though you can pay OCLC for more services than we've chosen to).</p> <p>Hope this helps,</p> <p>Andrea</p> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:45:00 +0000 AndreaMedina-Smith comment 4207 at http://www.museumsandtheweb.com
