ABSTRACT
This paper describes the structure of an extensible metadata quality assessment framework, which supports multiple metadata schemas, and is flexible enough to work with new schemas. The software has to be scalable to be able to process huge amount of metadata records within a reasonable time. Fundamental requirements that need to be considered during the design of such a software are i) the abstraction of the metadata schema (in the context of the measurement process), ii) how to address distinct parts within metadata records, iii) the workflow of the measurement, iv) a common and powerful interface for the individual metrics, and v) interoperability with Java and REST APIs.

Metadata Quality Assessment Metrics into OCW Repositories
ICETC '17: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Education Technology and ComputersIn this research work, it has been justified that ensuring OCW repositories metadata quality should be approached in haste, because of the relevance and influence it make search and discovery tools of resources and its direct impact on reuse of them. ...
Exploring the provenance and accuracy as metadata quality metrics in assessment resources of OCW repositories
ICETC '18: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Education Technology and ComputersOpen Education is a movement that was born with the purpose of bringing knowledge to disadvantaged sectors and opening the doors to better education opportunities for all. Open Educational Resources (OER) such as Open CourseWare (OCW) has become support ...
