- How did you evaluate your records to assess their quality?
- How did you use the principles of precision and recall to evaluate your use of elements and data values?
- How did you use feedback on your records to improve the quality of each record?
Marking criteria:
- Word length (maximum): 2,000 words
- Written work is clear, well organized and includes appropriate references.
- The submitted work answers the questions posed in the assignment prompt.
These are the three codes:
- Dublin Core
- VRA Core
- EAD
following are the feedbacks given by my teacher of the three assignments.
- Dublin Core
These are the requirements then:
feedback from teacher:
Areas of strength
You made a consistent effort to use element encoding schemes to enhance the granularity and precision of your DC record.
Areas of improvement
There is one instance where your xml is not valid
- VRA Core
These are the requirements then:
Areas of strength
You selected appropriate data values throughout your record and you made a clear effort to create granular metadata that a wide range of users could understand.
Feedback from teacher:
Areas of improvement
Your description set does not structure the information you included in your <display> element.
Remember, display and indexing information perform particular functions in a relational database.
Remember you need to create two image records. One for a general view of the work and one detail of the work.
- EAD
These are the requirements then:
Feedback from teacher:
Areas of strength
Your <eadheader> is granular and accurate, you made excellent use of EAD elements and attributes to structure information about the finding aid.
Overall your <dsc> is logical and complete, you make a good effort to distinguish between series, subseries and items. One suggestion: when you change from <c03> to <c04> explore options for your level attribute.
Areas of improvement
You did not include the DTD information in your finding aid. This information is incredibly important because it ensures I can check your XML against a schema specification.
Your <controlaccess> is, overall, well structured and you distinguish between subjects, personal names. You’ll want to consider your use of <geogname> though, that implies geographic information will be encoded, not a subject.
