About Mia Core: Mia Core is a standards-based metadata model created by the Minneapolis Institute of Art for use across digital asset management systems. The Mia Core specification is simple, scalable, flexible. With a robust foundation of “required” fields based on Dublin Core, additional properties may be adopted or removed as desired. Mia Core is therefore a living specification which allows for iterative improvement as requirements evolve. New versions will be shared publicly via Mia’s GitHub site.
This metadata specification was developed with generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, as part of Mia’s IMLS-funded “Enterprise Content Management Project”.
