Purpose: The Metadata Task Force will develop a document with best practice concepts, definitions, implementation strategies, and templates/tools for an audience of data, technology, and program staff in state and local education agencies. It is hoped that this resource will improve this audience's awareness and understanding of metadata and, subsequently, the quality of the data in the systems they maintain.
Current Tasks: The Metadata Task Force is now completing a draft document and plans to release its final product by the Summer 2009 Forum.
Meeting Schedule: No meeting is currently scheduled.
