This course focuses on the tools and technologies involved in metadata
design. A significant benefit of metadata is that its flexibility for
customization to the needs of the organization and the resource. This
course provides the tools needed to design metadata to support the needs of
users and collections. Students will learn the tools of metadata design,
beginning with the data model that abstracts the meaning and value of the
collection, the registry, which formalizes the data model into workable
metadata elements, to standardizing the values that populate metadata
through ontology and vocabulary development. Students are also introduced
to metadata expression, through the collaborative design of an XML schema
and through use of XML and RDF to document metadata instances from the
schema. The course concludes by discussing how to apply these tools to
existing metadata schemas. At the end of the course, students will be able
to effectively design metadata to support their community’s and
institution’s information needs.

This course has a follow-up: Metadata Implementation.

stand-alone course as well.
