Program: Quality Shareable Metadata.
"Shareable metadata is metadata which can be understood and used outside of 
its local environment." A couple of good intros to the subject are "Moving 
Toward Shareable Metadata" 
(http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue11_8/shreeves/), and "Is 'Quality' 
Metadata 'Shareable' Metadata? The Implications of Local Metadata Practices 
for Federated Collections" 
(http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlevents/shreeves05.pdf).

"Speaker: Melanie Schlosser, Metadata Librarian, the Scholarly Resources 
Integration Department 
(http://library.osu.edu/sites/techservices/srihome.php), The Ohio State 
University. Melanie is a graduate of the Indiana University School of 
Library and Information Science (MLS). While at IU, Melanie worked with the 
IU Digital Library Program as a digital library resident, specializing in 
electronic text projects and metadata issues. She currently works with 
OSU's institutional repository (the KnowledgeBank 
<https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/>https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/) and other digital 
projects. You may have heard Melanie last fall at CO-ASIS&T speak on 
"Alphabet Soup: A Metadata Overview." And you may also know her from 
OhioLINK's Digital Resources Management Committee."
