Introduction to Metadata Jenn Riley Metadata Librarian IU Digital Library Program

6/25/07 SEI2 Some definitions of metadata Data about data “Structured information about an information resource of any media type or format.” (Caplan) “Structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to retrieve, use, or manage an information resource.” (NISO) “A relationship that someone claims to exist between two entities” ( )

6/25/07 SEI3 Refining a definition Other characteristics Structure Control Origin Machine-generated Human-generated In practice, the term often covers data and meta-metadata

6/25/07 SEI4 Metadata and cataloging Depends on what you mean by: metadata, and cataloging! But, in general: Metadata is broader in scope than cataloging Much metadata creation takes place outside of libraries Good metadata practitioners use fundamental cataloging principles in non-MARC environments Metadata created for many different types of materials

6/25/07 SEI5 What metadata is not Just a new word for cataloging Only for Internet resources Necessarily in electronic form Only created by professionals A fundamentally new idea A reason to forget everything we know about describing and managing resources

6/25/07 SEI6 Some uses of metadata By information specialists Describing non-traditional materials Cataloging Web sites Navigating digital objects Managing digital objects over the long term Managing corporate assets By novices Preparing Web sites for search engines Describing Eprints iTunes

6/25/07 SEI7 Some forms of metadata in cultural heritage institutions Catalog cards OPACs Finding aids Inventories Registers Slide labels

6/25/07 SEI8 Uses of metadata in cultural heritage institutions Searching Browsing Display for users Interoperability Management of digital objects Preservation Navigation

6/25/07 SEI10 How metadata is used

6/25/07 SEI11 A taxonomy of standards Chart from Weibel & Elings, “Metadata for All”

6/25/07 SEI12 Some data structure standards For general use MARC and MARCXML MODS Dublin Core More specialized for this community VRA Core CDWA Lite

6/25/07 SEI14 Slide courtesy of Jan Eklund, UC Berkeley “Classic” LC MARC record with field tags

6/25/07 SEI15 Slide courtesy of Jan Eklund, UC Berkeley MARCXML record

6/25/07 SEI16 Some data content standards Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2) Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) Replaces APPM Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO)

6/25/07 SEI17 Also standards for individual fields Controlled vocabularies Names: LCNAF, ULAN, etc. “Subjects”: LCSH, AAT, etc. Geographic places: LCSH, TGN, etc. Classification schemes, e.g., LCC Encoding schemes, e.g., W3CDTF Some fields may not be covered by a content standard, or you may choose to override the guidance of a content standard for a particular field

6/25/07 SEI18 Creating descriptive metadata “Digital library” systems ContentDM ExLibris Digitool Greenstone Library catalogs Spreadsheets & databases XML

6/25/07 SEI19 Challenges for descriptive VR metadata No infrastructure for copy cataloging Often describe unique rather than mass- produced works Description tends to be more subjective than traditional library cataloging Many whole/part and derivative relationships Generally describe surrogates rather than actual works

6/25/07 SEI20 Work = image contentImage = view of a work Agent = Auguste Rodin, sculptor Title = The Thinker Work type = sculpture Descriptive metadata Museum inventory # = R9876 Exhibition status = on display Administrative metadata Agent = Joe Dokes, photographerCall number = 275.R692 Title = Full view from front leftClass = French Modern Sculpture Work type = color transparencyAccession # = Descriptive metadataAdministrative metadata Measurements = 350 kb Work type = digital image Technical metadata Work vs. image Slide courtesy of Jan Eklund, UC Berkeley

6/25/07 SEI21 The role of community There’s no one “right way” to record descriptive metadata But we shouldn’t each have to start from scratch with our own planning Collaboration within defined communities is the key to success
