The DCTerms provides some fields for use in the description of Collections. While it may be possible to use terms from specific vocabularies in the CLD (see a list of works) or see the whole application profile here. However, It is interesting to note that RDA has some of these terms too and even though purls were minted for CLD that linked data URIs exist for these concepts as well.

What are the User Task in OLAC and for an OLAC 2.0?
What overlap does DCTerms have with the IFLA-LRM/RDA models? That is, if OLAC stays with DCTerms, what user tasks is it known to not support? On the flip side, what user tasks do archives need to support beyond OLAC's capabilities?

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?
