Developing a Metadata Element Set I. Identify desired metadata elements for the collection
Desired Element Explanation and Description of the Element (This will be the element definition and will be included in the final schema.) The Title element records the titles, identifying phrases, or names given to a work. The identity of any one individual or corporate body that played a role in the creation of a work.

Since we have publication dates for the cartoons, we chose to qualify the date element to date created to better describe the resource. Publication date may vary from creation date, so an additional element was added.
