Ontario Web metadata standards
Here in Ottawa we don't always pay attention to non federal government information management practices. Here is some documentation from the Ontario provincial government.
Government of Ontario Information & Technology Standards are the official publications on the standards, guidelines, technical reports and preferred practices adopted by the Information Technology Standards Council under delegated authority of the Management Board of Cabinet.
This document defines a set of metadata practices aimed at promoting the uniformity of metadata, providing a consistent approach to accessing resources, and improving access to (and search and retrieval of) government web information.
