Colleagues:

The Digital Library Federation Assessment Interest Group Metadata Working Group (DLF AIG MWG) is pleased to announce a new and improved process for submitting resources to the Metadata Application Profiles (MAP) Clearinghouse<https://dlfmetadataassessment.github.io/projects/metadata-application-profiles/>.

The MAP Clearinghouse is intended to be an extensible collection/repository of metadata application profiles, mappings, and related specifications that aid or guide descriptive metadata conventions in digital repository collections. Any organization or aggregation that maintains metadata documentation is welcome to submit current versions (in PDF format) for any or all of the specification categories.

More information can be found on the MAP Clearinghouse<https://dlfmetadataassessment.github.io/projects/metadata-application-profiles/> page of the website and you can submit materials here.<https://github.com/DLFMetadataAssessment/Sandbox/issues/new?assignees=&labels=MAP+Clearinghouse+submission&projects=&template=metadata-resource-submission.yaml&title=%5BName+of+new+Metadata+Resource%5D%3A+>

Please note that the submission form uses GitHub<https://github.com/> and thus requires a GitHub account. If you need assistance or an alternative method of submitting materials, we are happy to assist you.

Please contact the MWG through our Google Group<https://groups.google.com/g/dlf-aig-metadata-assessment-working-group>.

Thank you for helping us add to this important resource!

Sincerely,
Anna Goslen (on behalf of the MWG)
