Abstract
In the 1970’s Christopher Alexander envisioned the “pattern language”. It contains an underlying philosophy [1] of what to accomplish by using pattern language; it is this philosophy we tap into and apply to metadata planning.
Different collections needs different metadata to be of future use; this information has a structure, we aim to reuse knowledge of, and standerdize the creation of these structures. We further believe pattern language will ease the transition of existing digital collections.
