Digital Media Metadata Maturity Model

Stage 2: Structured Metadata - Maturity Stage

Where a deliberate structure is used to add meaning to metadata concepts, and the metadata conforms to a model.

Capabilities required for this maturity stage

Training corpus is easily derived from assets and metadata

Basic Metadata - Maturity Stage

Assets have simple, unstructured "Tags" used to power free-text search and can aggregate/group the assets. This level offers no information for machines or humans beyond free-text search and basic collections.

Semantic Metadata - Maturity Stage

Metadata conforms to a semantic model that describes the classes of metadata and how the concepts are related to one another. This provides context and meaning.
