LDL Metadata Application Profile

The LDL Metadata Application Profile (metadata guidelines) is intended for use by LDL participants to ensure both standardization of digital collection description, as well as a level of flexibility to account for a wide variety of needs. The guidelines were created at LSU Libraries, with input from the LDL Metadata Advisory Group and the LSU Libraries Development Team. Effort has been made to adhere to established cataloging standards; variations are the outcome of navigating technical and community needs.
