			=Metadata Standards=

			The ADA requires a minimum level of DDI metadata based on ADA metadata guidelines [93]. ADA implements DDI-Codebook 2.5 for discovery and reuse in Dataverse and applies DDI-methodology elements at study and variable level for curated collections. Methodology coverage includes: study design, universe, sampling, data collection mode, fieldwork dates, weighting, cleaning operations, and instrument/question text (where provided).


			=Controlled Vocabularies & Identifiers=

			To support consistency, discovery, and interoperability, ADA uses:

			ANZSRC Fields of Research (disciplinary classification for discovery/harvesting).

			Licences: Creative Commons (for open/recorded-access collections) or ADA licence terms (for restricted collections).

			Persistent identifiers & provenance: DOIs via DataCite; provenance captured through workflow logs with PROV-O classes in ADAPT (for SIP→AIP→DIP transitions).

			The Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) Fields of Research (FoR) is one of a set of three related classifications developed for use in the measurement and analysis of research and experimental development (R&D) statistics in Australia and New Zealand. ANZSRC FoR codes are to be completed for published datasets to enable harvesting by the Australian Research Data Australia catalogue [16].

			=Expected Documentation for Reuse=

			Depositors are expected to provide project metadata and supporting documents where applicable, including the survey instrument, data dictionary, code book, data user guide, and technical report. The ADA archivists actively assess deposits for reuse and include usability recommendations in their data processing report for the depositor. Recommendations can include requests for additional metadata or documentation. The ADA supports updates and revisions to published data, metadata, and documentation outlined in Workflows [34].

	The ADA requires a minimum level of DDI metadata and uses controlled vocabularies and other standards to ensure data is findable and reusable. Expected metadata includes details about the project, contributors, data collection and cleaning procedures, sampling and weighting, related publications and external resources, and geospatial information. Depositors are also expected to provide supporting documents where applicable, including the survey instrument, data dictionary, code book, data user guide, and technical report.
