Metadata per
document
1. No or little network effects
2. No reuse of metadata
3. Metadata resides in silos
4. Data quality hard to measure
5. Not machine-readable
Knowledge about
metadata
1. Explicit knowledge models
2. Reusable and measurable
3. Metadata is machine-processable
4. Standards-based metadata
5. Linkable metadata opens silos

12. SKOS as a ‘backbone’ of knowledge graphs
