Abstract
Recordings in the field of folk narrative have been made around the world for many decades. By digitizing and annotating these texts, they are frozen in time and are better suited for searching, sorting and performing research on. This paper describes the first steps of the process of standardization and preparation of digital folktale metadata for scientific use and improving availability of the data for humanities and, more specifically, folktale research. The Dutch Folktale Database has been used as case study but, since these problems are common in all corpora with manually created metadata, the explanation of the process is kept as general as possible.
