NISO's "Understanding Metadata"

[Sloan, Bernie]

My apologies if someone has already mentioned this...I searched the
archives, but I could have missed something.

"NISO's newest publication is Understanding Metadata: a general introduction
to metadata, that includes an overview of leading metadata contenders and
examples of practical applications. You are invited to download
Understanding Metadata as a free pdf."
