you are to imagine that you have been given the responsibility for setting up metadata standards and policies for an institution of some kind. The institution could be a library, museum, archives, government agency, or the institution could be theoretical, like an institution that focuses on fully describing your personal collectio.

Describe the institution, including its type (library, museum, archives, government agency, etc) and what the institution’s mission and goals are for undertaking this metadata project.

E.g : To comply with laws? To provide access to public? etc

Briefly describe the collection, including types and formats of items in the collection.

Describe and justify the selection of the metadata standards you would use for this collection.

Requirement: you must use at least one standard as a “container”, like Dublin Core(prefered), VRA Core, MARC, MODS, etc

Requirement: you must discuss at least one standard you considered as an alternative to your chosen standard, and justify why your selection is the most appropriate for your collection.

Describe and justify the selection of the content standards you would use if you were to re-create this collection.

Requirement: at least one content standard is required.

Requirement: you must discuss at least one standard you considered as an alternative to your chosen standard, and justify why your selection is the most appropriate for your collection.

Describe expected user audiences and tasks that these users will be able to accomplish in your new system.

Recap the institution’s goals for the project (as you described in 1) and address how well your selected metadata standards meet these goals.
