Abstract
This paper depicts the implementation process of the collection-level description of TELDAP. Our study looks into collection-level description in order to eliminate problems users might encounter when accessing and retrieving resources caused by having only large amounts of item-level metadata. The implementation process is divided into five stages. In order to facilitate the application of collection-level description, we have put forth revised schema for the usage of currently available description standards. In the future, we intend to fortify relationships between item-level and collection-level metadata, and provide versions in different languages, expanding the accessibility of valuable resources to more users.
