Metadata
The term "meta" comes from a Greek word that denotes something of a higher or more fundamental nature. Metadata, then, is data about other data.
The term refers to any data used to aid the identification, description and location of networked electronic resources
![Page 3: An Introduction to Metadata by Wendy Duff ECURE 2000 October 6, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a1a9c2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Defining Metadata
Does data about data mean anything?
Librarians equate it with a complete bibliographic record
Information technologists equate it to database schema or definitions of the data elements
Archivists include context information, restrictions and access terms, index terms, etc.

Bibliographic Metadata
Providing a description of the information package along with other information necessary for management and preservation
EncodingProviding access to this description
Predominantly discovery and retrieval
![Page 5: An Introduction to Metadata by Wendy Duff ECURE 2000 October 6, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a1a9c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Encoding
Surrogate records are encoded by assigning tags, letter, or words
Why encode? For display Provide access Integration of surrogates

Beyond Discovery and Retrieval
Gilliland-Swetland (1998) explains “metadata also documents how that objects behaves, its functions and use, relationship to other objects and how it should be managed”.

Different Communities ….Different Metadata
Developers of the Interoperabilty of Data in E-Commerce Systems (indecs) ideintified metadata for protecting intellectual property rights of creators and publishers.
The Research Library Group’s Working Group on Preservation Issues of Metadata identified metadata for “digital master files that have preservation-based intent”.

Metadata to Information Technologists
The data that defines the data elements in a table
Data that controls or explains other dataSomething that is not part of the bit stream of
a record but needed to understand the data in the record
One systems metadata is another systems data

Victoria Recordkeeping Model
VERS is an exchange standard that allows transfer of metadata (and content) from the system it was created in to future systems as yet unbuilt.
A VERS Encapsulated Object (VEO) – a record – is designed to be self documenting so that the record can subsequently be extracted without reference to external documentation.
![Page 22: An Introduction to Metadata by Wendy Duff ECURE 2000 October 6, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a1a9c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Encapsulated Object
A VEO includes metadata that supports the management, finding, and retrieval of the electronic record.
A VERS record contains one or more documents, each of which may be stored as one or more encodings (physical file formats).

Metadata Facts to Remember
Metadata does not have to be digital
Metadata relates to more than the description of an object.
Metadata can come from a variety of sources
Metadata continue to accrue during the life of an information object or system.
One information object's metadata can simultaneously be another information object's data. (Anne Gilliland-Swetland, Setting the Stage)
