Summary

  • The acceptance of a submission to the database rests on the faculty member uploading a minimum amount of metadata.
  • These minimum metadata standards are meant to maximize the utility of the data while minimizing faculty workload in uploading data to the database.
  • Minimum metadata standards will be enforced when a faculty member chooses to make their data 'public.' Private data must meet no metadata standards since this data is not search-able or viewable by other users of the database.

Preconditions

  • The database must separate private and public data.
  • There must be a check on data/metadata when a faculty member chooses to 'publish' their data to the public database.

Basic Course of Events

  • Faculty member uploads assessments, student response data and metadata to the database.
  • Faculty member decides to make these data for this particular assessment public.
  • Before these data will be accepted into the public database, the database will check for compliance of minimum metadata.
  • If found to be lacking, the faculty member will be prompted as to the deficiencies in the data and given an opportunity to add additional, appropriate metadata.
