The Data-At-Risk and Rescue Initiative (DARI), an extension of the international CODATA Data-at-Risk Task Group (DARTG), is investigating how to best document data rescue efforts. This poster reports on a metadata-driven content analysis, and presents a metadata scheme for documenting data rescue. Twenty data rescue projects were reviewed for background context, and seven metadata schemes in the areas of preservation and data description were analyzed via a content analysis. Version 1.0, Data Rescue metadata core, consisting of 13 core elements, is presented, and future directions are noted.
