Abstract
Researchers have indicated that maintaining the quality of data is often acknowledged as problematic, but is also seen as critical to effective decision-making in engineering asset management (AM). The development of metadata standards is considered as an effective approach to address various data quality issues. Our literature review shows that there has been little study on the development of metadata standards for engineering asset management. Thus, this research has proposed a preliminary EAM metadata model as a result of the study into various related mature metadata standards with a strong focus on data quality assurance. It is believed that this model will provide useful contributions to generic or organisational specific metadata standard development in engineering asset management organizations.
