6. 6  Identified the DCC Disciplinary Metadata directory as a great starting point:  Aspires to be comprehensive across disciplines  Actively maintained  Conducted worldwide survey, asking for entries to add. To date, have added more than:  14 new standards  4 new profiles/extensions  13 new tools for working with metadata  Collected 5 sets of use cases for the directory  Collected 4 use cases for disciplinary metadata standards Metadata Standards Directory WG
