Making our metadata interoperable will save us significant time and resources (as well as headaches) later in the process, not least in the next step when we need to ingest and make operable that metadata, along with the digital surrogate files to which it is linked, in our Digital Archiving System. These issues related to the processing of digital files and their metadata will be discussed in more detail in the upcoming section, where we look at how our entire material—digitized and born-digital—needs to be prepared for ingest into our Digital Archiving System.
