Abstract

digital library educational resources Internet Metadata
PEN-DOR (the Pennsylvania Education Digital Object Repository) is a digital library providing access to atomic Web-based objects for lesson plan construction, a set of fully constructed lesson plans, and curriculum standards for the state of Pennsylvania. PEN-DOR supports lesson plan construction and enhancement activities. Through a community-based memory documentation process, PEN-DOR plans to provide access to the collective experience of teachers, students, and public school administrators working with the repository's resources. The diverse activities supported by PEN-DOR present a series of challenges in organizing and accessing Web-based objects, lesson plans, and other PEN-DOR resources for use. This article focuses on the development and implementation of the PEN-DOR metadata scheme, and discusses a number of metadata-related challenges that have emerged as a result of the project.
