When specifying metadata for a collection, especially the name or description of a program, study, or asset, consider the perspective of users who will be searching for that collection. If the name of your collection contains the same words as many other collections in MoDaC, it will be more difficult for the users to find your collection. In each metadata field, specify what makes your collection unique. Spell out any acronyms and avoid jargon.
