- Collection as Administrative Set: A group of items bound together by shared descriptive metadata and policies. A simple descriptive metadata record - – "title" and "description" - – applies to each member item of the set. (An item also has more extensive item-level metadata). Policies, set by the Collection Administrator, that bind together a set include: optional licenses (e.g., Creative Commons); access restrictions (e.g., embargo, discoverability, downloadability) ; collection management (contact information, who can deposit and administer). A collection (administrative set) can have one or more Administrators.
