What Is Metadata? Metadata is structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to retrieve, use, or manage an information resource. Source: NISO (2004) Understanding Metadata. Bethesda, NISO Press.

Metadata is… Structured data about “something” Text Images Sound Movement Objects Events Services

Metadata is… Encountered every day Timetables Directories Internet shopping sites, etc

Metadata is… Stored in - Databases, repositories Web pages Carriers Formats (e.g. MARC) Markup languages (e.g. HTML, SGML, XML)

Types of metadata Descriptive Structural Administrative Rights management metadata Preservation metadata

Why do you need it? To enable discovery of your digitised material To enable harvesting of your digitised material by external systems To help you organise your digitised material To support archiving and preservation

Metadata Schemas A metadata scheme is a sets of metadata elements designed for a specific purpose, such as describing a particular type of information resource.

Current Standards “Standards are like toothbrushes, everyone agrees that they’re a good idea but nobody wants to use anyone else’s.” From a Murtha Baca presentation Dublin Core (Simple, Qualified, Application Profiles) MARC, ONIX EAD MODS, METS, DIDL, PREMIS, MIX, RSLP-CD etc.

Out of the box… Realistically most people when first establishing online digitised resource will work with what comes out of the box … but fields can be added and schemes customised. Explore types and field structures at an early stage and set up your metadata scheme. Consider local needs such as departmental and project work structures and any local decisions needed about subject fields etc.

The “Other” Repositories What *might* be a repository? Flickr? Google Docs? YouTube? SlideShare? Wikipedia? Twitter?

Folksonomy & Tagging Metadata for the people, by the peopl Keywords Descriptive Created by and for human beings Inconsistent Personal Shared Created on the fly Unstructured
