The document outlines metadata schemas including VRA Core, CDWA, MODS, and Qualified Dublin Core. It provides examples of element names and discusses using elements and sub-elements to describe works, images, agents, dates, measurements, materials, and other attributes in a structured format. Worksheets are provided to practice entering sample values for different elements to gain experience with metadata schemas.
