A Technology Newsletter for Publishers
Issue 21 |March 2007
Our newsletter format has changed. Each issue includes one feature article plus links to other relevant information on the same topic, including our blog.
Building a Centralized Metadata Plan
Many articles that discuss metadata start off with the proverbial "what is metadata" question and generally cite the "data
about data" definition. Some articles also explore the metaphysical questions of the difference between metadata and the
data itself. I've even seen reference to meta metadata. This article doesn't go there, but rather looks at how a publishing
organization should go about establishing a formal metadata plan, and why.
