AB  - Purpose– This paper seeks to discuss the roles and responsibilities of a metadata manager in collaborative digital projects.Design/methodology/approach– The paper describes the general requirements for metadata management, and introduces some scenarios in the practices of digital projects by the Rutgers University Libraries to support the generalized definition. A workflow of metadata management is illustrated.Practical implications– With an explicit definition of the roles and responsibilities of the metadata manager, many other digital libraries that need to develop a new or optimize the existing workflow may find the Rutgers experience useful as a reference.Originality/value– Very few papers have explored this topic, although the functions of metadata in the development of digital projects have been talked about extensively.
