Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes733 views
This document provides an overview of descriptive metadata. It defines metadata as "data about data" and discusses common metadata formats like MARC and Dublin Core. It explains how metadata standards, controlled vocabularies, encoding rules, and schemas all work together to structure descriptive data about resources. Specific metadata types are also outlined, including descriptive, administrative, technical, and use metadata.

LIS 653, Session 4-B: Introduction to Descriptive Metadata
- 1. A Quick Intro to Descriptive Metadata LIS 653 Starr Hoffman
- 2. An Introduction to Metadata Metadata: “data about data” Generic term for cataloging formats (MARC, Dublin Core, EAD, etc.) Frequently means newer-generation formats Can describe any kind of information object
- 4. How it All Fits Together Record Authority control (standardized author name: J. R. R. Tolkien) (representation of bibliographic information) Encoding (MARC, XML) Code (rules: AACR2, RDA) Structure (ISBD, XML) Subject headings (LCSH, Sears, AAT) Classification (shelving: LC, Dewey) Model (FRBR, trad. model) Record is displayed in an OPAC, online database, etc. Format (MARC, Dublin Core)

- 6. Metadata Types (Functions) Descriptive The what, where, who, and when + subject description Administrative Rights, legal access requirements, etc. Preservation Physical condition Preservation history Migration (digital) Technical Hardware/software documentation Security data Use Circulation records Exhibition records Search logs
- 7. Metadata Some is auto-generated…
- 8. Metadata Schemas MARC Dublin Core EAD Encoded Archival Description VRA CDWA Categories for the Description of Works of Art
- 9. Metadata Schemas Dublin Core Simple format Encoded in XML 15 elements: None are required All are repeatable Sample record: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark%3A/67531/metadc373/
- 10. Metadata Comparisons… Type of Standard Example: Libraries Example: General Example: Archives & Museums Example: Art Collections FORMAT(metadata element sets, schemas). These are "containers" of data that make up a record or other information object. MARC Dublin Core (Or others) EAD CDWA, VRA CONTROLLED VOCABULARIES (thesauri, subject headings, authority control). LCSH, LCNAF (name authority), TGM, TGN Any controlled vocabulary can be used. LCSH, LCNAF (name authority) AAT (Art & Architecture Thesaurus), ULAN, ICONCLASS RULES or CODES for cataloging… These are guidelines for the format and syntax of the data. AACR2, RDA, ISBD (Varies by metadata use.) In libraries: RDA Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) ENCODING (metadata standards expressed in machine-readable form). This data is encoded or marked up for machine processing. MARC21 XML …also METS, MODS XML …also METS XML
Editor's Notes
- #3: Metadata: “data about data” Can be used as a generic term for all cataloging formats (MARC, Dublin Core, EAD, etc.) Is most often used to refer to newer-generation formats, often encoded in XML Can describe any kind of information object: print, digital, archival, artefact, etc. Commonly used for digital collections Can be at collection-level, item-level, or both There is even metadata embedded in webpages!
- #4: Example of metadata embedded in a web page… TITLE for the web page!
- #5: Bibliographic record = record with descriptive information about a work (information object) that it represents Catalog = a group of records, a list of objects in a collection Model = determines how records are organized and created in a catalog (FRBR) Cataloging codes = rules for creating catalog records (AACR2, RDA) Structure = rules that help determine the order of elements & punctuation/spacing in a record (ISBD, XML) Format = format in which a record is created and/or encoded (MARC, Dublin Core) Subject heading = terms from a topical controlled vocabulary that describe the content of a work (LCSH, Sears, AAT) Authority control = term from a controlled vocabulary chosen to uniquely identify an author, corporation, book title, or series (so that all records for one author can be accessed easily) Classification scheme = assigns a unique descriptor to a work (usually based on subject), often used to indicate a work’s physical location (LC, Dewey)
- #7: Descriptive (what we’ll focus on first) Like bibliographic catalog records: the what, where, who, and when Includes subject description Administrative Rights, legal access requirements, etc. Preservation Physical condition, actions taken to preserve digital versions, migration, etc. Technical Hardware/software documentation, security data—passwords Use Circulation records, exhibition records, user tracking, search logs
- #8: Camera type Lens type Shutter speed Exposure, Aperture, ISO Date, Time Location (if GPS attached)
- #9: Common Descriptive Schemas: MARC (libraries, for print, A/V, etc.) Dublin Core (general) EAD, Encoded Archival Description (archival material) VRA (for images and works of art and culture) CDWA, Categories for the Description of Works of Art (art)
- #10: Dublin Core Simple format Encoded in XML—can create it in a text file 15 elements: No elements are required All elements are repeatable (very flexible) Sample record: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark%3A/67531/metadc373/ Sample Record, Show: DISPLAY version (full record) Metadata page, multiple download formats Click: XML, JSON, text…
