To make this happen …
 Stop assuming existing standards are

To make this happen …
 Rigorously define metadata interoperability in
terms of element semantics, their value
domains and encoding schemes
 Develop concrete recordkeeping metadata
standards based on dynamic metadata
models with multiple entities
 Develop machine processable versions of
standards representing both the syntax and
semantics

13
To make this happen …
 Implement the metadata broker concept
 Build operational web services to enable
metadata translation
 Re-engineer and re-position recordkeeping
and archiving processes in line with a
continuum view
 Realise the vision – Create Once, Use Many
Times
