This 2 1/2-day seminar provides an intensive theoretical and practical,
project-based exploration of metadata and its applications. After
participating in this seminar you will be able to:
* Understand the foundations of resource description and its application
to the Internet
* Understand emerging Web standards such as XML, RDF, and the Dublin
Core and their application in resource description systems
* Evaluate your information management needs and determine the
appropriateness of metadata for a variety of applications
* Use Dublin Core metadata in real-world applications
As part of a project team, you will use the OCLC Institute's Metadata
Lab to design, implement, and evaluate a MARC- or webserver-based
resource description system using metadata records for a real-world
collection.
