Statistics show that only one of every four Web Sites use Meta tags. However using these tags can give your site an advantage over other sites that do not. Meta tags enable most visitors to initially find your site from the search engines.These are HTML tags that provide information that describes the content of the web pages that the visitor will be viewing. Web Site owners use this resource to control their positioning and descriptions in the search engines. Most search engines incorporate reading meta tags as part of their indexing formula.(Website 101, 2009) || 20100909 || 22 || Emirates Network. (2003). //What are HTML Meta Tags//.

Mets was developed as an initiative of the Digital Library Federation and maintained by the Library of Congress Network Development and MARC Standards Office. It is an XML schema for encoding structurally complex digital objects into a single document that includes descriptive, administrative and structural metadata. A METS document comprises seven components:


 * the METS header
 * descriptive metadata
 * administrative metadata
 * the file section
 * the structural map
 * structural links
 * behaviour metadata

 * **Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)** (Taylor & Joudrey, 2010, p. 110) || **Identifiant de ressource uniforme** (RFC3986, 2005, ¶1) || A Uniform Resource Identifies (URI) is a unifying syntax proposed by one of the creators of the Internet, Berners-Lee, for the "Expression of Names and Address of Objects on the Network as used in the World-Wide-Web" (1994, ¶1). URIs can contain two component, Uniform Resource Locators (URL) and Uniform Resource Names (URN) (Berners-Lee, Fielding & Masinter, 2005, 1.1.3. URI, URL, and URN). This means that resources identified by a URI do not need to be part of a network, but can also pertain to a particular resource inside a particular namespace. So for example a URN would describe the name of a resource, ex. urn:isbn:9781591585861, for our text book, and a URL would describe the location we could find the book (Moats, 1997, 6. Examples of lexical equivalence).

We are most familiar with the URI scheme employed by the world wide web which uses the hypertext transfer protocol (ex. http://www.uottawa.ca). Other examples of URI schemes can be found here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html || 20100923 || 29 ||

RDF-structured metadata is designed to promote structural interoperability between metadata schemas on the internet and is specifically designed to be machine-readable. RDF is thus considered a major building block in the vision for the Semantic Web, a concept first explored by Tim Berners in 1997. According to Taylor & Joudrey: “The Semantic Web is intended to provide more structure to the Web that will allow computers to deal with its content in meaningful ways. It is intended that information will be defined in such a way that its meaning or semantics can be discernable, shared, and processed by automated tools as well as by people.” (2009, p. 112) RDF-Structured metadata statements take the form of //Triples.// That is, they contain three components: a subject, a predicate, and an object. A subject is any resource that can be identified from a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). These subjects have multiple properties, such as author, title, publication date, etc. These properties take the form of the predicate in the RDF statement, and the values of the properties are the objects. RDF statements are typically encoded in XML or some other markup language. Taylor & Joudrey provide several different examples of RDF statements on pages 110-113 (2009). || 20100925 || 35 || Taylor, A.G. and Joudrey, D.N. (2009). //The organization of information//.

(Taylor & Joudrey, 2009, p.451). Crosswalks are tools used to achieve interoperability, specifically semantic interoperability.

By 1971, the MARC format had become the national standard for dissemination of bibliographic data and by 1973, an international standard. There are several versions of MARC in use in the world, the most predominant being MARC 21, created in 1999 as a result of the harmonization of U.S. and Canadian MARC formats, and UNIMARC, widely used in Europe. The MARC 21 family of standards now includes formats for authority records, holdings records, classification schedules, and community information, in addition to formats for the bibliographic record. Widespread use of the MARC standard has helped libraries acquire predictable and reliable cataloging data, make use of commercially available library automation systems, share bibliographic resources, avoid duplication of effort, and ensure that bibliographic data will be compatible when one automation system is replaced by another.

Dossier sur les métadonnées. || La description d’archives codée est une norme de structure conçue en 1993 par la Bibliothèque de l’Université de Berkeley, en Californie. Basé sur la norme [|XML], ce langage facilite le repérage de renseignements archivistiques sur Internet grâce à son statut indépendant de toute plate-forme ou logiciel informatique. Depuis 1997, il fait partie d’un programme de formation continue offert par la [|Society of Amerian Archivists (SAA)], qui en assure la maintenance. || 20100928 || 47 || Taylor, A.G. & Joudrey, D.N.
