Metadata quality analysis

OLAC metadata records are scored for metadata quality on a 10-point scale explained in OLAC Metadata Metrics. The score for the above record (along with comments on changes that could improve the score) is as follows:

Component + - Comments
Title   1   0 
Date   0   1  Add a dc:date element (or one of its refinements, like dcterms:created or dcterms:issued).
Agent   1   0 
About   0   1  Add a dc:description or dc:subject or dcterms:abstract or dcterms:tableOfContents element.
Depth   0   1  For the full score, add at least 6 more elements in addition to the ones counted explicitly in other components of the score.
Content Language   0   1  Add a dc:language element with an ISO 639-3 code to identify the language in which the resource is written or spoken.
Subject Language   1   0 
OLAC Type   0   1  Add a dc:type element that uses the OLAC linguistic-type encoding scheme to identify the type of the resource from a linguistic point of view.
DCMI Type   0   1  Add a dc:type element that uses the DCMIType encoding scheme to identify the generic type of the resource.
Precision   0   1  For the full score, make use of at least 3 more encoding schemes in addition to the ones counted explicitly in other components of the score. For instance,
  • olac:role on dc:creator or dc:contributor
  • use dcterms:W3CDTF on dc:date (or its refinements)
  • use dcterms:URI when the value of an element is a URL
  • use dcterms:IMT on dc:format
