[Medin_standards] MEDIN Discovery Metadata Standard v3.0 now published

[Gaffney, Sean P.]

Dear All,

MEDIN are delighted to announce that v3.0 of the MEDIN Discovery Metadata Standard has now been published on the MEDIN website, at https://www.medin.org.uk/data-standards/medin-discovery-metadata-standard

v3.0 of the Standard is available in two versions (i) a full version that contains multiple examples, details of sub-elements, xml encoding snippets and annexes and (ii) a brief version that does not contain sub element details or xml or annexes - this version is however more accessible as a quick reference.

A change log document has also been released to indicate what differences there are between v2.3.8 and v3.0 of the Standard. This is also available for download at the same link.

Throughout the remainder of 2019, MEDIN will be working on updating the schematron and metadata creation tools, and discovery metadata portal so as to function with v3.0 of the Standard. Please note that it is MEDIN's intention, once the tools and portal are updated, to retire v2.3.8 of the standard. The retirement will not however affect metadata in the portal generated with older versions of the Standard.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions relating to the new version of the Standard.

Kind regards

Sean Gaffney
