STEP 1: Standards set:
Agreement by a community on the metadata scheme to be used
“Probably the biggest stumbling block in the way of orderly development of metadata is the sheer number of different metadata projects”
(Milstead and Feldman, 1999)

STEP 2: Process chosen:
Training content and software tools to enable the training process
“You simply can’t automate the creation of quality content. Someone, somewhere, has to write the stuff.If they’re not good at their job, the whole process becomes, not just redundant, but counter-productive” (McGovern, 2002).

STEP 4: Mentoring:Responsible metadata agents trained to mentor new authors
“The only safe prediction with regard to metadata is that all other predictions, no matter how authoritative, will probably be wrong” (Milstead and
Feldman, 1999). “To be effective, metadata needs to be maintained, as does the vocabulary and its offshoots….ongoing training and education is necessary to maintain the gains achieved so far” (Quam, 2001).
