We are in the final stages of a complete redesign of our various digital
library interfaces here at UNT, starting with The Portal to Texas History which
has a six year old UI.
In doing this work I've been poking around at sites that I think are good
examples of design for various reasons.
I'll second Bob's recommendation on that paper.
I've found the following paper to be an interesting read on the topic of
metadata quality and some of the ways that we could approach measuring it with
automation.
Automatic Evaluation of Metadata Quality in Digital Repositories by Xavier
Ochoa
Sergio,
I'm hoping the conversations and interest around #metadataquality hashtag:
https://twitter.com/hashtag/metadataquality help to move forward some of these
conversations from well constructed research projects and academic papers to
something that more of us can implement locally in
Ethan,
As Mark mentioned we have implemented the ARK inflections of ? and ?? with our
systems.
I remember the single ? being a bit of a problem to implement in our system
stack (Apache/mod_python/Django) and from what I can tell isn't possible with
(Apache/mod_wsgi/Django) at all.
The ??
We are including these identifiers in the authority records we create for our
system.
Here is an example record in the UNT Name App for me with some of these links.

Here is a record with VIAF and LC identifiers integrated.

Thanks for the prompt Ed,
We've had a stupid simple vocabulary app for a few years now which we use
to manage all of our controlled vocabularies [1]. These are represented in our
metadata editing application as drop-downs and type ahead values as described
in the first email in this thread.
I think Sebastian is a great suggestion. He presented several times at UNT
over the years and each presentation was well received by a broad range of
listeners. Also at code4lib he can get all geeky and such.
