    A metadata model for institutional repositories enhances an optimal description of the information of the digital objects deposited in them. Since this model is based on international standards, it improves interoperability and harvesting with national and international repository networks. In addition, it contributes to the visualization of academic and scientific information, thus supporting the institutional objectives and the establishment of improvement actions. Three main problems were found: the use of a single template for the description of the different digital objects, the lack of sore metadata for an adequate description, and the absence of an established metadata model. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine a structural metadata model for the repository of Universidad Central del Ecuador' s library. Regarding the methodological framework, this study is descriptive-comparative and has a mixed approach, i.e., it is qualitative and quantitative. Data were collected through the interview technique and the use of questionnaires. The interviews were conducted with two librarians and a computer scientist and were validated by library experts with a score of more than 4 points, which determined their reliability. The observation technique was employed for the metadata, with checklists as instruments. With these, 63 Ecuadorian universities were identified but only 48 universities were studied since only these had their information available. The types of repository documents considered for metadata were theses, articles, book chapters, and conferences. Finally, comparative tables were used to contrast the hypotheses proposed. As a result, the alternative hypothesis was considered valid, i.e., the application of the proposed structural metadata model is feasible because it complies with Open Aire guidelines and allows interoperability to be fuIly harvested by CEDIA and La Referencia.
