Metadata for Online Collections

Got a bunch of documents that you are trying to make into a digital collection?  Got a digital collection that you want to make accessible? Concerned about preservation and access?  Then thoughtful and standards-compliant metadata is something that needs to be included in your planning.

This session will discuss some of the basics of document metadata and how it can be used in law libraries and law school digital collections.  We will talk about the following:

1. Standards: Dublin Core, MODS, EAD;

2. Metadata Formats: htmlmeta, RDF/XML, XMP;

3. Storage and use of metadata.
