Abstract:

The Data Conversion Group at the SUB Göttingen is a team of metadata experts that handles various aspects in the area of metadata and standardization and whose tasks range from teaching metadata via development of Application Profiles and data models to the validation and transformation of data from different providers. The DCG’s work for the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek is one example of the variety of tasks, where, in addition to data clearing, work on standards and best practice guidelines plays an important role. To fulfil these tasks the DCG developed a tool, supporting the day to day work of harvesting, validating, transforming and supply of metadata in the most efficient way.
