Information Resource Description Creating and managing metadata

Information Resource Description Creating and managing metadata

An overview of the field of information organization that examines resource description as both a product and process of the contemporary digital environment. This timely book employs the unifying mechanism of the semantic web and the resource description framework to integrate the various traditions and practices of information and knowledge organization. Uniquely it covers both the domain-specific traditions and practices and the practices of the 'metadata movement' through a single lens - that of resource description in the broadest semantic web sense. This approach more readily accommodates coverage of the new Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard which aims to move library cataloguing into the centre of the semantic web. The work surrounding RDA looks set to revolutionise the field of information organization and this book will bring both the standard and its model and concepts into focus. Key topics include: information resource attributes metadata for information retrieval metadata sources and quality economics and management of metadata knowledge organization systems the semantic web books and e-books websites and audiovisual resources business and government documents learning resources and the field of information/knowledge organization. | Information Resource Description Creating and managing metadata
