Arbil is an application for creating and managing metadata for research data such as audio, video or textual data. The metadata is displayed in tables and trees, which allow an overview of the metadata and the ability to populate and update many metadata sections in bulk. A number of metadata formats are supported and Arbil has been designed as a local application so that it can also be used offline, for instance in remote field sites. The user can view and edit the metadata in tables in the order that the information is available, if the metadata does not comply with the requirements the user will be warned but will not be prevented from entering it in the meantime. It is hoped that the features of the application will lead towards the recording of metadata at an earlier stage resulting in greater detail and better quality of that metadata. If this improvement in workflow is achieved then the metadata will be entered sooner and reassessed during the research process, which will greatly improve the quality of that metadata.
