The purpose of minimum metadata is to supply the very basic information necessary to place these PDFs online plus standard information common to all items in this collection. Basic information unique to each Program is the title (as directly transcribed from the program), the performance date and technical information such as digital ID, page count and digitization specs. This approach follows general principals described in More Product, Less Process for Digital Collections (1)
Long term plans include adding more descriptive information to enhance discovery. This may include additional dates of performance, roles and names of performers and composers, etc. as well as parsing out titles into sub-elements. This work will be managed by Music librarians and catalogers.

Additional Notes
- Data specific to each item may be extracted from the digital files directly using tools such as exiftool (command line) or Omni Page Pro.
- Little to no normalization of titles are prepared at this stage. Only minor white space correction is performed. This means title segments (e.g. date, time and performance location) may vary in order as these segments vary in order found on the original document.
- For OCR testing findings, please see slides OCR Trials
