• Metadata is structured data which describes the characteristics of a resource.
• It shares many similar characteristics to the cataloguing that takes place in libraries, museums and archives.
• The term "meta" derives from the Greek word denoting a nature of a higher order or more fundamental kind.
• A metadata record consists of a number of pre-defined elements representing specific attributes of a resource, and each element can have one or more values.
What is metadata?

What is metadata?
Structured data about resources– Library catalogues– Abstracting and indexing services– Archival finding aids– Museum documentation– Community information
Carriers: MARC, HTML, SGML, XML

Types of metadata1) Descriptive Metadata
2) Administrative Metadata
3) Structural Metadata

Types of metadata
1) Descriptive Metadata
2) Administrative Metadata
3) Structural Metadata
![Page 6: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Types of metadata1) Descriptive Metadata:
to serve the purposes of discovery (how one finds a resource), identification (how a resource can be distinguished from other, similar resources), and selection (how to determine that a resource fills a particular need, for example, for the DVD version of a video recording)
![Page 7: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
04/11/2023 7
Types of metadata2) Administrative Metadata:
is information intended to facilitate the management of resources. It can include such information as when and how an object was created, who is responsible for controlling access to or archiving the content, what control or processing activities have been performed in relation to it, and what restrictions on access or use apply.
![Page 8: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
04/11/2023 8
Types of metadata3) Structural Metadata (SM):
can be thought of as the glue that holds compound digital objects together. A book, for example, may have many chapters, each consisting of a set of pages, each page represented by a separate digital file. Structural metadata (SM) is required to record the relationships between physical files and pages, between pages and chapters, and between chapters and the book as a whole. Presentation software uses SM to display Tables of contents and to deliver such functions as going directly to a requested chapter, or to turn pages forward or backward in order.
![Page 9: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Why use metadata?
Metadata provides the essential link between the information creator and the information user.
![Page 10: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
04/11/2023 10
Aim of metadataWhile the primary aim of metadata is to improve
resource discovery, metadata sets are also being developed for other reasons, including:
administrative control security personal information management information content rating rights management preservation
![Page 11: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
04/11/2023 11
Metadata may be deployed in a number of ways:
• Embedding the metadata in the Web page by the creator or their agent using META tags in the HTML coding of the page
• As a separate HTML document linked to the resource it describes
• In a database linked to the resource. The records may either have been directly created within the database or extracted from another source, such as Web pages.
![Page 12: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
04/11/2023 12
Some of the most popular metadata schemas include:
Dublin Core AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules) GILS (Government Information Locator
Service) EAD (Encoded Archives Description) • IMS (IMS Global Learning Consortium) • AGLS (Australian Government Locator Service)
![Page 13: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
04/11/2023 13
The data will be unusable, unless the encoding scheme understands the semantics of the metadata schema. The encoding allows the metadata to be processed by a computer program.
Important schemes include:• HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) • SGML (Standard Generalised Markup Language) • XML (eXtensible Markup Language) • RDF (Resource Description Framework) • MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) • MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
![Page 14: Introduction to Metadata](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554a03aeb4c905507a8b514e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Markup languages
SGML - Standard Generalised Markup Language - controls document formatting for publication
XML - Extensible Markup Language - “next generation” SGML
HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language - SGML subset, controls display of web pages
Tags (usually paired) structure text into elementse.g. headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.<title> </title> <p> </p> <li> </li>

How does one create metadata?• DC-dot - http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcdot/. This
service will retrieve a Web page and automatically generate Dublin Core metadata, either as HTML tags or as RDF/XML, suitable for embedding in the section of the page.
• DCmeta - http://www.dstc.edu.au/RDU/MetaWeb/generic_tool.html. Developed by Tasmania Online. It is based on SuperNoteTab text-editor and can be customised.
• HotMeta - http://www.dstc.edu.au/Research/Projects/hotmeta/. A package of software, including metadata editor, repository and search engine.
