Metadata, or ""data about data"", is used to organize and access
information in an effective way. From cataloguing to organizing
archives, metadata helps front-line librarians provide customers
with a direct path to information. In this text, Priscilla Caplan
presents a comprehensive description of the various forms of
metadata, its applications, and how librarians can put it to work.
Both descriptive and nondescriptive forms of metadata are defined
(including the TEI Header, the Dublin Core, EAD, GILS, ONIX and the
Data Documentation Initiative) and applied to actual library
functions. Illustrations show how different forms of metadata look,
the advantages and disadvantages, and where they're best applied in
the library. Caplan seeks to provide an unbiased analysis of
metadata forms, emerging forms, and current and future
applications. She answers questions such as: how does using
metadata enhance access?; how can metadata be used to organize and
describe a variety of information formats, especially digital
resources?; what are the different ways you can use metadata in
your library?; and which form of metadata will be most appropriate
for your collection?
