Anotace:	One of the key challenges facing information managers today is the need to inter-relate different sources and types of information, whether it be in an internet search across a range of resources or an e-commerce system that needs to exchange data between proprietary applications in order to complete a transaction. Metadata allows interoperation of information systems, improves retrieval performance and provides a way of managing information resources. It is now an established part of the work of LIS professionals. This thought-provoking, timely and useful introduction to metadata by one of its leading advocates assesses the current theory and practice and examines key developments - including global initiatives - in terms of both policy and technology. This book is essential reading for network-oriented librarians and information workers in all sectors and for students of librarianship, information science and records management. In addition it will provide useful background reading for ICT professionals supporting content-based systems and information services. Publishers, policy makers and practitioners in other curatorial traditions such as museums and archives will also find much of relevance.

It assesses the current theory and practice of metadata and examines key developments - including global initiatives - in terms of both policy and technology. Following an overview of metadata development, the core of the book focuses on the application of metadata and defines five purposes for metadata illustrated with practical examples. It then goes on to consider the issue of managing metadata itself and concludes with a look towards the future.
