If We're Not There Yet, How Far Do We Have To Go ? Web Metadata at The University of Melbourne

This document summarizes metadata compliance efforts at the University of Melbourne over time. It discusses how the university initially had few web pages complying with metadata standards in 1999 and undertook various analyses and initiatives to increase compliance. This included establishing a metadata working group to develop a university-wide metadata standard using Dublin Core elements and additional administrative metadata fields. A 2005 crawl of the university website found metadata was present on many pages, though compliance varied and new formats posed challenges for metadata inclusion.
