Digital Libraries: Metadata Resources made me feel– well– meta!

“Metadata is data about data. The term refers to any data used to aid the identification, description and location of networked electronic resources. Many different metadata formats exist, some quite simple in their description, others quite complex and rich. ”

    wow…you’re really getting into this stuff now…well I’m done with my finals and presentation…I am yours 😉 give me a ring, can talk shop later this week.

    Other areas to consider that are not usually mentioned in the metadata world: data modeling(rational,etc), digital museums(creating the online experience for museum collections and their metadata), industry & education metadata(Prism, SCORM, IMS/IEEE) and data transfer protocols to support them(ICE)…and don’t forget the digital library federation(http://www.diglib.org/dlfhomepage.htm)

    Enjoy!
