METADATA FOR ALL:
Practical Aspects
METADATA IS US but not ONLY US:
Where we’re going
METADATA WAS US:
Where we’ve been
METADATA DEFINED
“Metadata consists of statements we make about resources to
help us find, identify, use, manage, evaluate, and preserve
them.”
Concepts come from three traditions:
–Database Management Systems (“Schemas of relational
databases”)
–Library Cataloging Traditions (MARC & AACR2)
–The World Wide Web (since the mid-1990’s)
Stuart A. Sutton, Basic Semantics, International Conference on Dublin Core
and Metadata Applications—Singapore, 2007 http://www.dc2007.sg/T1-
BasicSemantics.pdf
BASIC TYPES OF METADATA
 Administrative
 Descriptive
 Structural
TERMS

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF METADATA
To support users in the following tasks:
 Locate
 Identify
 Select
 Acquire
 Navigate

METS
METS
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard
 “. . . a standard for packaging descriptive, administrative and
structural metadata. It allows for metadata which adheres to
existing standards (such as Dublin Core and MARC) to be
embedded in a METS record, or stored outside the METS
record and referenced. METS is therefore not a metadata
standard but rather a wrapper for associating existing
metadata of various types within a single object, document, or
collection structure.”

  • 6. METADATA DEFINED “Metadata consists of statements we make about resources to help us find, identify, use, manage, evaluate, and preserve them.” Concepts come from three traditions: –Database Management Systems (“Schemas of relational databases”) –Library Cataloging Traditions (MARC & AACR2) –The World Wide Web (since the mid-1990’s) Stuart A.

  • 29. METS
  • 30. METS Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard  “. . . a standard for packaging descriptive, administrative and structural metadata. It allows for metadata which adheres to existing standards (such as Dublin Core and MARC) to be embedded in a METS record, or stored outside the METS record and referenced. METS is therefore not a metadata standard but rather a wrapper for associating existing metadata of various types within a single object, document, or collection structure.” Source: http://staffweb.library.northwestern.edu/dl/metadata/standardsinvent ory/metssummary.html
