From Quality Metadata to User Experience Consistencies

Variation in accuracy, completeness, or consistency can contribute to lower quality metadata records. Hughes (2006), when looking at OLAC records, rightly points out that coverage (quantity of elements per record) is one way to estimate record quality. However, all three impact end-user perceptions about records and their associated resources.

For OLAC the question is how can it reward data contributors for high quality metadata and also detect low quality metadata while correcting or enhancing low quality?

OLAC data quality investigator

On the flight back from Finland I found it challenging to use my laptop and pulled out my scratch pad to draw out some ideas I was having. One of those ideas was an idea for a record quality investigator. A tool which lets one investigator the presence or absence of features or sets of features in a record or set of records. The goal is to look for any patterns in the records which might be interesting and notable.

What follows are my written notes.
