For my final project for Metadata Design, I worked in a group to create a metadata application profile (MAP) specifically tailored to twenty PDFs of dissertations, referred to as ETDs (electronic theses and dissertations), which are sourced from repositories from several countries and written in several different languages. The MAP contains elements used to describe these dissertations via the Metadata Object Schema (MODS) version 3.8 and Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations: an Interoperability Metadata Standard for Electronic Theses and Dissertations (NDLT ETD-MS) version 1.2.

This project was completed in tandem with Bria Pickel, MJ Ray, and Yuan Sciscent. The PDF of our project documentation and cataloguing guidelines can be seen below or downloaded here. Our Collection Builder site can be viewed here, and code for the site can be viewed here.
