<p>We are starting to catalog a large born-digital collection (approximately 50,000 files) and debating whether to use Dublin Core or ISAD(G) as our primary descriptive standard.</p><p>Dublin Core seems more natural for individual digital files, but ISAD(G) preserves the hierarchical context we need for provenance. Has anyone found a good hybrid approach?</p><p>We are using Heratio 2.8.2 with the Data Migration plugin enabled.</p>
