Abstract
Libraries have a long tradition on cataloging with consistency. Other domains try to follow their paradigm, but there are many challenges to be addressed. In this paper we examine the metadata design and implementation for the excavation of an archaeological site. We start by discussing with the excavation personnel, to understand the procedures and the metadata involved. We examine the current metadata scheme and the way it was used to fill in all metadata element values and we classify the obvious errors found in them. We reveal additional required functionality and propose an improved scheme. In the poster we expose our methodology and findings.
