Metadata, specifically DCMI (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative) and its element set ISO 15836-2003, establishes one of the operational infrastructures of the Semantic Web and one of the interoperability main keys for electronic information management and retrieval. This metadata schemas, beside XML/RDF syntactic code, the content description schemes (ontologies, topic maps, thesaurus, etc.) and a set of protocols for information interchange, will be the protagonists of the Second Generation of the Web.

This landscape will be reflected by this tutorial. Its specific aims are:

  • To present an introduction to the metadata concept and application.
  • To define the metadata role in Web systems and services, versus its role in global information retrieval by all the web search engines.
  • To present the general principles for any metadata project, mainly metadata schemas assessment and selection.
  • To reflect the metadata schemas, models and standards possibilities and their syntax and coding (HTML/XML/RDF), and their heterogeneity problems and the need of planning interoperability between different web information objects.
  • To explain paradigmatic cases of metadata management in subject gateways, their particularities and prospective use.
