My previous previous profile:

I am a metadata specialist with the RUBRIC project based at the USQ in Toowoomba. My professional background has been in education and libraries, and it was my more recent background in academic libraries, especially in cataloguing, electronic databases and services, including the ADT (digital theses) project, and assisting the piloting of an ePrints institutional repository at USQ that led to my current position. As a metadata specialist I am essentially concerned with issues relating to the validity and standardization of data entry in institutional repositories. I’ve been set up to work most closely with a bunch of computer techies, mainly because I’m not computer techie myself. I think the idea (and it’s a good one I’m sure) is to keep those techies from letting their computer brilliance get away with them lest they produce the bestest repository systems in the whole world only to find that real-life users don’t want them. They really are a brilliant bunch and an inspiring lot to keep up with.
