Facet Publishing Information Resource Description Creating and managing metadata(Hardback) by Philip Hider and series edited by David Bawden and Lyn Robinson
Hider’s text provides a fulsome understanding of metadata standards, how they differ, how they are employed, and how vocabularies shape our access to the full spectrum of information about a topic. It is an accessible, well-written and almost conversational overview of information resources description that leaves the reader with an understanding of the elemental nature of metadata, its origins and ponderings on its future.
