This research project asks whether audio material in online digital collections might have specialized descriptive metadata requirements, and, if so, what they might be. To answer these questions, an overview of current practice was undertaken. Eighteen audio-oriented online collections were identified and sample records from each were examined to discover the character of the metadata elements used in each collection. The results were interpreted both in the context of individual collections and on an aggregate level. The findings provide a new perspective on the interdisciplinary nature of online audio-oriented collections and their metadata requirements. A presentation about the study is also available.
