Option 1

 * Article title
 * Dublin Core


 * Article Evaluation:
 * Could benefit from a section that focuses on how digital preservation or the management of digital content is improved (or not) through Dublin Core. I felt like the article was greatly lacking a section which would describe its differing uses. So how it is used in the digital curation/preservation process could be an aspect of that as well as whether it assists or not in preservation/management of digital content. There is an entire section for DCMI Metadata Terms without any thorough explanation of what these terms mean, what they are, why they were created, how they are used, and in what fields/for what purpose.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Database Preservation


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is a very minimal article, with very little description or detail on the topic or database preservation at all, or even what a database is and why its preservation may be considered differently from the preservation of other digital objects. Readers might benefit from small explanation of relational databases as well as opened/closed and static/dynamic databases and how these affect preservation decisions. I noticed there was, for one, very little information overall, but also particularly that there was no information on certain practices which are used to preserve databases information, such as transaction logs.
