How to set priorities in a resource-constrained environment?
Results included several metadata topics
Users tend to want a single worktype, that can be flexibly customized (e.g. for display, search/indexing)
Amanda would like to share these results with SMIG for discussion and to gather feedback; also to share with the Bulkrax interest group
Idea of end users, “the public” as stakeholders
