A good place to start is with the so-called “Dublin Core Metadata Element Set.” Dublin Core is a widely applied set of 15 properties or elements for describing digital files. These elements are often considered a standard set of metadata that are applied almost regardless of the type of archival material, the archive's theme, or the type of software used in the Digital Archiving System. Further, for preservation purposes, the so-called PREMIS metadata standard provides a useful reference and guidance (PREMIS: Preservation Metadata Maintenance Activity (Library of Congress)).
