Metadata for Resource Description and Access: Essential Knowledge and Skill Sets for Cataloging/Metadata/Electronic Resource professionals
Bonnie Tijerina October 22nd, 2008
Proposed Abstract:
The goals of the proposed preconference workshop are multifold: First, it aims to look at the critical roles played by metadata in resource description and the access of digital resources. Second, it aims to provide the participants with the knowledge and skills to create metadata item records using major metadata schemes. Third, it aims to explore the application and implementation of current metadata standards in digital repositories. Fourth, it aims to explore tools for semiautomatic metadata generation. Some of the workshop contents encompass an introduction to the various types of metadata schemes such as Dublin Core (DC), the Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), Encoded Archival Description (EAD), Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), and Visual Resources Association (VRA). As well, it will provide a substantial amount of individual hands-on practice in metadata creation using DC and MODS metadata schemes.
