Hi Karen, At the University of Houston we have two metadata specifications. Our Metadata Dictionary was used for a number of years to guide descriptive metadata creation for CONTENTdm: http://digital.lib.uh.edu/about/metadata We've deprecated the Metadata Dictionary in favor of our Bayou City DAMS MAP which aligns better with the DPLA MAP: https://vocab.lib.uh.edu/bcdams-map Hope this helps, and let us know if you have any questions.
