Description:What are the different types of Metadata that a library needs in order to manage the parts of its
collection that are in digital form? In this introductory workshop, participants will learn about the importance of descriptive, administrative, structural, and intellectual metadata; metadata standards
developments; the history and importance of the Dublin Core; and pilot projects such as MOA2 and REACH. They will learn the difference between semantics, structure, and syntax. They will learn about best
practices for this area, and about efforts to create guidelines on the subject. And they will learn about related issues such as scanning, and delivery versus archiving. The workshop will focus on digital
libraries involving scanned images, but much of the discussion will be relevant to other types of material. |
