Metadata provides a means of indexing; accessing; preserving; and discovering digital resources. The volume of digital information available over electronic networks has created a pressing need for standards that ensure correct and proper use and interpretation of the data by its owners and users. Well-crafted metadata is needed more now than ever before and helps users to locate; retrieve; and manage information in this vast and complex universe. The third edition of Introduction to Metadata; first published in 1998; provides an overview of metadata; including its types; roles; and characteristics; a discussion of metadata as it relates to Web resources; and a description of methods; tools; standards; and protocols for publishing and disseminating digital collections. This revised edition is an indispensable resource in the field; addressing advances in standards such as Linked Open Data; changes in intellectual property law; and new computing technologies; and offering an expanded glossary of essential terms.
