David Haynes has produced a clear, comprehensive and timely overview of how metadata shapes our digital age, why it’s a key organisational asset and how its value can be released through the use of key standards and technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the second edition of a pioneering work originally published in 2004. It is intended as a tutorial (rather than a how-to do book) on metadata. Its basic strength is its clarity and its sound theoretical considerations based on a deep knowledge of the relevant literature combined with a comprehensive knowledge about the application of metadata in different environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author does not find that the definition of metadata as ‘data about data’ sufficient. He argues that to understand this new concept it is necessary to know about how informative objects or documents have been described and catalogued by the different communities that have developed specific systems and processes for this purpose. The word ‘data’ in ‘metadata’ is widely interpreted as information, information resource or information containing entity. This allows inclusion of documentary materials in different formats and on different media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA basic view underlying this book is that metadata can only be defined and understood by its purposes or uses. This corresponds with a view that I have put forward in several publications: that the pragmatic approach to knowledge organization is the most important. It may sound trivial, but still this perspective has not broadly been understood and applied. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book therefore contains 6 chapters devoted to 6 different purposes of metadata. With regards to information retrieval it is argued that ‘metadata has a key role to play in high-quality information retrieval and is particularly important in clearly defined domains. It also plays a key role in providing users with options for searching on different attributes and for putting the search queries into context.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains fine introductions to metadata modelling, models and standards and contains 4 chapters on metadata management including ‘big data’ and a discussion of political and ethical issues. It has a valuable reference list, including references to many standards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Haynes’ book presents a highly qualified and useful introduction to metadata and deserves to be used as a text in courses at iSchools and by professionals working in museums, libraries, archives, publishing houses and other contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Birger Hjørland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Haynes' \u003ci\u003eMetadata for Information Management and Retrieval\u003c\/i\u003e provides an excellent overview that covers all of the main issues relating to metadata and controlled vocabularies. Haynes deals with key concepts such as resource description and information retrieval in clear, practical terms, with real-life examples. The section on the politics and ethics of metadata is timely and thought-provoking. This book is a valuable resource for both students and information professionals in the age of digital libraries and big data.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Murtha Baca, PhD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetadata in all its aspects. Metadata is one of those buzzwords closely associated with digital content. However, like many other catchy terms used for electronic resources, everyone talks about metadata but few understand exactly what it means! In fact, and I believe this is the reason why metadata still remains a difficult concept to be fully grasped, most of the literature published hitherto on the theme revolves around two aspects of metadata: its technical properties and existing standards – without making a clear point about the history, use, importance and impact of metadata in the management of digital collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second and timely expanded edition of \u003cem\u003eMetadata for Information Management and Retrieval\u003c\/em\u003e covers, in a very accessible and straightforward language, all the fundamental points which explain why metadata is so relevant in today's electronic environment.

XML and its ancillary technologies XSD, XSLT and XQuery enables librarians to take advantage of powerful, XML-aware applications, facilitates the interoperability and sharing of XML metadata, and makes it possible to realize the full promise of XML to support more powerful and more efficient library cataloguing and metadata workflows. While by no means the only technology arrow in a modern-day cataloguer’s or metadata librarian’s knowledge and skills quiver, a firm understanding of XML remains relevant and helpful for those working in modern bibliographic control or with information discovery services. Even experienced cataloguers who know their way around the tags and strings of a MARC record occasionally need help and advice when creating metadata for sharing bibliographic records or digital collections on the web. This handbook from the Association for Library Collections \u0026amp; Technical Services (ALCTS) illustrates with examples how XML and associated technologies can be used to edit metadata at scale, streamline and scale up metadata and cataloguing workflows and to extract, manipulate, and construct MARC records and other formats and types of library metadata.

It lays out the basic principles that should underlie any metadata strategy, including its relation to such fundamentals as the digital curation lifecycle, and demonstrates how they should be put into effect. It introduces the XML language and the key standards for each type of metadata, including Dublin Core and MODS for descriptive metadata and PREMIS for its administrative and preservation counterpart. Finally, the book shows how these can all be integrated using the packaging standard METS.

David Haynes has produced a clear, comprehensive and timely overview of how metadata shapes our digital age, why it’s a key organisational asset and how its value can be released through the use of key standards and technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the second edition of a pioneering work originally published in 2004. It is intended as a tutorial (rather than a how-to do book) on metadata. Its basic strength is its clarity and its sound theoretical considerations based on a deep knowledge of the relevant literature combined with a comprehensive knowledge about the application of metadata in different environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author does not find that the definition of metadata as ‘data about data’ sufficient. He argues that to understand this new concept it is necessary to know about how informative objects or documents have been described and catalogued by the different communities that have developed specific systems and processes for this purpose. The word ‘data’ in ‘metadata’ is widely interpreted as information, information resource or information containing entity. This allows inclusion of documentary materials in different formats and on different media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA basic view underlying this book is that metadata can only be defined and understood by its purposes or uses. This corresponds with a view that I have put forward in several publications: that the pragmatic approach to knowledge organization is the most important. It may sound trivial, but still this perspective has not broadly been understood and applied. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book therefore contains 6 chapters devoted to 6 different purposes of metadata. With regards to information retrieval it is argued that ‘metadata has a key role to play in high-quality information retrieval and is particularly important in clearly defined domains. It also plays a key role in providing users with options for searching on different attributes and for putting the search queries into context.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains fine introductions to metadata modelling, models and standards and contains 4 chapters on metadata management including ‘big data’ and a discussion of political and ethical issues.

Metadata is one of those buzzwords closely associated with digital content. However, like many other catchy terms used for electronic resources, everyone talks about metadata but few understand exactly what it means! In fact, and I believe this is the reason why metadata still remains a difficult concept to be fully grasped, most of the literature published hitherto on the theme revolves around two aspects of metadata: its technical properties and existing standards – without making a clear point about the history, use, importance and impact of metadata in the management of digital collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second and timely expanded edition of \u003cem\u003eMetadata for Information Management and Retrieval\u003c\/em\u003e covers, in a very accessible and straightforward language, all the fundamental points which explain why metadata is so relevant in today's electronic environment.
