This paper aims to present an objective summary of the current state of research concerning the evaluation criteria of map metadata. The undertaken research identifies which authors and to what extent the discussed issues related to the metadata of objects collected in digital libraries, with particular emphasis on cartographic materials.,Independent reviewers analysed the basic articles data. Selected papers were subject to quality assessment, based on the full text and 12 questions. Finally, iterative backward reference search was conducted.,The results demonstrate that there are no universal criteria for metadata evaluation. There are no works that would assess the metadata of cartographic studies, although numerous publications point to the need for this type of work.,Metadata evaluation allows users to obtain knowledge whether objects found in the library are relevant for their needs.,The criteria and methods most often used for assessing metadata quality which can be adopted to map metadata evaluation have been identified. The authors identified the existing research gaps and proved that there is a need for research contributions in the field of evaluating map metadata.

关于档案地图描述的元数据评估标准

本文旨在客观总结有关地图元数据评估标准的研究现状。进行的研究确定了哪些作者以及在多大程度上与数字图书馆中收集的对象的元数据相关的讨论问题，特别是制图材料。独立评论员分析了基本文章数据。根据全文和 12 个问题，对选定的论文进行质量评估。最后进行了迭代后向参考搜索。结果表明元数据评估没有通用的标准。没有作品可以评估制图研究的元数据，尽管许多出版物指出需要此类工作。元数据评估使用户能够了解图书馆中发现的对象是否与他们的需求相关。已经确定了最常用于评估元数据质量的标准和方法，这些标准和方法可用于地图元数据评估。作者确定了现有的研究空白，并证明需要在评估地图元数据领域做出研究贡献。
