LIS 653, Session 4-B: Introduction to Descriptive Metadata
This document provides an overview of descriptive metadata. It defines metadata as "data about data" and discusses common metadata formats like MARC and Dublin Core. It explains how metadata standards, controlled vocabularies, encoding rules, and schemas all work together to structure descriptive data about resources. Specific metadata types are also outlined, including descriptive, administrative, technical, and use metadata.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Metadata: “data about data” Can be used as a generic term for all cataloging formats (MARC, Dublin Core, EAD, etc.) Is most often used to refer to newer-generation formats, often encoded in XML Can describe any kind of information object: print, digital, archival, artefact, etc. Commonly used for digital collections Can be at collection-level, item-level, or both There is even metadata embedded in webpages!
- #4 Example of metadata embedded in a web page… TITLE for the web page!
- #5 Bibliographic record = record with descriptive information about a work (information object) that it represents Catalog = a group of records, a list of objects in a collection Model = determines how records are organized and created in a catalog (FRBR) Cataloging codes = rules for creating catalog records (AACR2, RDA) Structure = rules that help determine the order of elements & punctuation/spacing in a record (ISBD, XML) Format = format in which a record is created and/or encoded (MARC, Dublin Core) Subject heading = terms from a topical controlled vocabulary that describe the content of a work (LCSH, Sears, AAT) Authority control = term from a controlled vocabulary chosen to uniquely identify an author, corporation, book title, or series (so that all records for one author can be accessed easily) Classification scheme = assigns a unique descriptor to a work (usually based on subject), often used to indicate a work’s physical location (LC, Dewey)
- #7 Descriptive (what we’ll focus on first) Like bibliographic catalog records: the what, where, who, and when Includes subject description Administrative Rights, legal access requirements, etc. Preservation Physical condition, actions taken to preserve digital versions, migration, etc. Technical Hardware/software documentation, security data—passwords Use Circulation records, exhibition records, user tracking, search logs
- #8 Camera type Lens type Shutter speed Exposure, Aperture, ISO Date, Time Location (if GPS attached)
- #9 Common Descriptive Schemas: MARC (libraries, for print, A/V, etc.) Dublin Core (general) EAD, Encoded Archival Description (archival material) VRA (for images and works of art and culture) CDWA, Categories for the Description of Works of Art (art)
- #10 Dublin Core Simple format Encoded in XML—can create it in a text file 15 elements: No elements are required All elements are repeatable (very flexible) Sample record: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark%3A/67531/metadc373/ Sample Record, Show: DISPLAY version (full record) Metadata page, multiple download formats Click: XML, JSON, text…
