The Quality of Embedded Metadata in PDFs (Jan 2013)
Discussion on the poor quality of embedded metadata in PDFs. The discussion took place from 4-8 January 2013 following a blog post by @briankelly, which itself was inspired by a post by @rmounce. NOTE: anybody whose tweet has been included who wishes the content to be removed should contact me.

- @briankelly Have spent a lot of time manually adding metadata to PDFs. Definitely improves SEO
- **Comment by @neilstewart (and exchange of ideas with @briankelly):
@mrnick @briankelly this is an interesting post. There is another issue not covered: we do work for academics in converting .doc to .pdf...- @mrnick @briankelly ...might this also distort or destroy metadata added to the original Word docs?
- @neilstewart Interesting. I'd assumed that authors created their own PDFs & sent 1 to publisher & other to IR.
- @briankelly if only! We tend to get tranches of back-files often in Word, sometimes in PDF, occasionally in exotic formats (Wordperfect etc)

- @neilstewart interested in workflow for converting .doc to .pdf. Do this for stuff uploaded via @symplectic_uk? See my comment @briankelly

Embedded Metadata in PDFs Hosted in Institutional Repositories: An Inside-Out & Outside-In View | @scoopit sco.lt/7vDPzV- @mrnick @neilstewart If PDFs in IRs have cover pages added manually, surely there'll be a huge backlog in fixing embedded metadata
- **Comment by @rmounce (and discussion with @neilstewart) on value of cover pages):
why do IRs need 2 slap on cover page anyway? Perhaps they should just embed additional provenance metadata @briankelly @mrnick @neilstewart- Gelezen: Embedded Metadata in PDFs Hosted in Institutional Repositories: An Inside-Out… goo.gl/fb/yITEy
