However, the institutions in which they practice often depend on support staff, volunteers, and students in order to function. With limited time and funding for training in metadata creation for digital collections, there are often many questions about metadata without a reliable, direct source for answers. The Metadata Manual provides such a resource, answering basic metadata questions that may appear, and exploring metadata from a beginner’s perspective. This title covers metadata basics, XML basics, Dublin Core, VRA Core, and CDWA schemes and provides exercise in the creation of metadata. Finally, the book gives an overview of metadata, including mapping and sharing.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of figures and tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the authors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction to metadata\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is metadata?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistory of metadata\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe types and structure of metadata\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMetadata languages\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuality control and interoperability\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere to go for more information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: XML basics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is XML?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow are XML records created?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther content in XML\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWell-formed vs. valid XML\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy do we use XML?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eXML example records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExample exercise\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Using Dublin Core: With information from the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBackground\/History\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanges to Dublin Core\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe DCMI Metadata Terms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExample record\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswer key\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Using Encoded Archival Description (EAD): With information from Encoded Archival Description Tag Library, Version 2002, by the Society of American Archivists\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDevelopment\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExample EAD record (abbreviated)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercise\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswer key\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Using Categories for the Description of Works of Art (CDWA) and CDWA Lite: With information from the Getty Institute\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswer key\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Using VRA Core 4.0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDevelopment of VRA Core\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVRA Core 4.0 elements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExample record\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswer key\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The big picture\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShareability\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe semantic web\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRDF Exercises\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking records shareable\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMapping and crosswalking\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eXSLT\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOAI-PMH\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere to go for more information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswer key\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShareability exercise\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOAI-PMH exercise\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix: XML examples\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library \u0026amp; information sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Library \u0026amp; information sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Library%20\u0026amp;%20information%20sciences%20%5BGL%5D%22\"\u003eGL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Chandos Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651749237016,"sku":"9781843347293","price":43.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781843347293_45674c6f-38ee-46e2-a624-9c9b47945b41.jpg?v=1696713255","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-metadata-manual-a-practical-workbook-paperback-9781843347293","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
