This book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of metadata,
from its origins in the ancient cities of the Middle East, to the
Semantic Web of today. The author takes us on a journey through the
centuries-old history of metadata up to the modern world of
crowdsourcing and Google, showing how metadata works and what it is
made of. The author explores how it has been used ideologically and
how it can never be objective. He argues how central it is to human
cultures and the way they develop. Metadata: Shaping Knowledge from
Antiquity to the Semantic Web is for all readers with an interest
in how we humans organize our knowledge and why this is important.
It is suitable for those new to the subject as well as those know
its basics. It also makes an excellent introduction for students of
information science and librarianship.
