 * study initiated to capture "status" of metadata records, when to know they are ready to be published. Sarah Carrier pursued this work in the metadata class, and ended up establishing the "Dryad" namespace, and then registered the "status" element for the Dryad application profile, following the Singapore Framework recommendation.


 * curation metadata = administrative metadata in many respects.


 * A selected review of standards follows here:


 * A-Core: Metadata about Content Metadata. Retrieved December 9, 2008, from http://metadata.net/admin/draft-iannella-admin-01.txt. - who, what, where, when.


 * AC - Administrative Components - Dublin Core DCMI Administrative Metadata: Final Specification: http://www.bs.dk/standards/AdministrativeComponents.htm.  (Validity date - start and/or end date of the validity of the metadata content.)


 * IEEE LOM (Learning Object Model)- http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/files/LOM_1484_12_1_v1_Final_Draft.pdf. - "completion status or condition of this learning object" -- not the metadata record; also has version.


 * National Library of Australia’s Preserving Access to Digital Information (PADI) metadata schema - http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/metadata.html - includes elements that refer to status:  1. record status - status assigned to the resource for administrative purposes (accepted; on hold; rejected; under review); 2. date status - date the status was assigned, 3. reason for status, 4.  review category- a category assigned to a record with "on hold" or "review" status that defines the type of review required.


 * OCLC catalog record - http://www.oclc.org/holdingsformat/en/leader.htm - corrected or revised, new; see also MARC leader: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html.


 * METS - The mets header element  captures metadata about the METS document.
