Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/204/en

If, as advised in this manual, in the planning phase, we have already made a decision on the standard we will apply for metadata collection and implemented it through description and digitization phases, then our metadata will already have been gathered in accordance with that standard. Therefore, we should be able to arrange and prepare it for ingest in accordance with the system-recognizable format by making only basic technical arrangements or mapping our metadata to the standard. For example, in the digitization section, we mentioned that the so-called “Dublin Core” basic metadata standard is supported by most digital archiving software. Hence, if we applied this standard for the collection of metadata from the beginning, and we selected the software that supports it, we would now be able to translate the collected metadata into the format our Digital Archiving System can recognize and properly ingest.
