	abstract = {In this article, Bruce and Hillmann explore the challenges of defining metadata. They argue that past efforts on the part of librarians have been relatively inconsequential in defining the parameters and standards for metadata. Bruce and Hillmann assert that there is a tension between metadata efficiency and quality that makes setting standards a particular challenge. Quality metadata is characterized in this article through the evocation and explanation of several criteria: completeness, accuracy, provenance, conformance to expectations, consistency, coherence, timeliness, and accessibility. In order to assist in the practical implementation of these standards, Bruce and Hillmann construct a  table with each element, a series of questions that should be asked when addressing that element, and where the information should be located in the metadata schema. },
