The course focuses on providing metadata concepts, principles and applications in different domains. It offers the conceptual and practical knowledge needed for understanding the anatomy of metadata, their structure and their building blocks along with their use and wide application in digital libraries.
Existing metadata standards (such as DC, CIDOC CRM, MODS, EAD, etc) are used as examples and students are required to practice. The development of application profiles based on metadata schemas for specific information needs is also an integral part of the course.
Furthermore, Metadata services are also viewed within the framework of digital libraries.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Select the most suitable metadata schema and use it for the description of any digital resource in a digital library
- Develop an application profile
- Understand the notions of interoperability and open data
