• Draft a final report with Dome Core policies and recommendations
• Get approval from the *_Metadata Coordinating Group_* to move ahead to proposed changes to the Dome metadata registry and associated projects
• Set a date (Summer 2011) when all new records submitted to Dome will be required to meet Dome Core standards and will have the option of including metadata elements from various schemes (date to be set by Metadata Coordinating Group)
• Create new metadata registries in Dome
  • dcterms
    • proper dublin core schema and namespace
  • dometerms (name up for debate)
    • new schema and namespace for local terms that do not fit into a standard recognized schema
  • VRA, and other schemas as necessary to meet the needs of specific formats and genres (EBUcore, mods, etc.)
• Take action in each contributing community to bring workflows into compliance with Dome Core Metadata Policies
  • Carl and collection administrators will need to work together to create new mappings from metadata creation tools to Dome
  • Our plan is to standardize this process and whenever possible reuse mappings and workflows to cut down on repetitive work and maintain consistency across our collections
• Meet with Beverly, Carl, Sands and Bill (possibly others) to discuss what it will take to bring existing Dome records into compliance with new policies
• Prepare proposal to make the necessary changes to bring the existing metadata in Dome into compliance with Dome Core Metadata Policies
• Submit a proposal to the Project Review Committee to fund the retrospective cleanup phase of the project (https://wikis-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/confluence/display/LIBPRC/Proposal+process^{Image Removed})
  • _We are unsure how to position the project for this proposal – any thoughts?_
  • Note: We believe that this project is very important. This should be a high priority, even if we do not receive any additional funding through this proposal process. We will do what we can to make this project feasible.
