Abstract
This thesis aims to explore the current state of metadata practices in Institution Repositories

of HiOA in terms of the awareness of Institution Repositories, metadata and metadata types,

the availability of guidelines, the chief source of information on enriching contents, the

metadata scheme used, and the opinions of staff on the problems and factors regarding

enriching metadata contents for digital collection in ODA, the institutional repository of

HiOA. The study is limited to ODA as a case study.

A descriptive survey is used as the research method. Data was collected by using an online

questionnaire. A survey link was distributed to informants who play different roles in the

ODA projects. The research is based on qualitative methodology because it focuses on

investigating the point of views from Hioa librarians, outside experts and authors as well as to

analyzing the semantic of metadata elements being used in current digital publication at Hioa

database. A total of 17 returned questionnaires were analyzed.

The presented case study reports an activity focuses on the study of a metadata element which

generated an benefit that can be useful for different purposes such as research, learning, easy

retrieval from IR. It is conceived as an open access initiative and supported by the

institutional repository on which we rely in order to ensure the long-term preservation, the

visibility and the interoperability of the solution.

In managing the metadata and making it richer different problems and challenges have been

faced and investigated by these memory institutions and further research should be carried out

to study other aspects of metadata implementation. The findings in the thesis could be a useful

reference for the ODA projects.
