	abstract = {Arwen Hutt and Jenn Riley discuss the heightened interest in and development of aggregated cultural heritage resource collections. They focus on the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) whose goal is to provide a {\textquotedblleft}low-barrier method for the sharing of metadata{\textquotedblright} between centralized repositories. Hutt and Riley conduct an in-depth study of the UIUC Digital Gateway to Cultural Heritage Materials{\textquoteright} use of the creator, contributor, and data fields of Dublin Core. Their results found that while there is high compliance and accuracy in the use of the data and creator fields, the contributor field as a high level of inappropriate values indicating that there is confusion over this concept. Hutt and Riley emphasize that useful, shareable metadata relies on communicative relationships between OAI-the object and OAI-search environment. They argue that there is a disconnect between the structure of Dublin Core and the descriptive needs of institutions. In order to remedy this they suggest (i) removing the requirement of Dublin Core, (ii) developing best practice documentation, (iii) educating metadata providers, and (iv) facilitating the sharing of resources between service providers.},
