In an attempt to summarize the relationship among various metadata formats and how they relate to building Internet systems I wrote a glossary. I then ordered and tied the terms together with a bit of narrative to explain the relationships among the terms
...The search for data that does not yet exist becomes metadata that helps to create the new data it is proleptically about. The instrument created to search the Net replicates the Net over and over. Is the Internet different because of this?
Old (hearks way back to 2001, if you can believe it) and new, all at once. Some things never change. Guess the "torch" didn't consume all the "straw men," despite "craphound's" best efforts. This is still highly relevant. That's all.
I’m seeking ways to expand metadata hooks into new areas of my overall information management scheme...[excerpt from] tecosystems...because technology is just another ecosystem.
Imagine a site that's a broker or mirror of metadata from other sites? You could go to this site, enter a URL and have the metadata from that page presented to you in clean, crisp XML. Even better if this was a Web service w/API free for anyone...quite a
Products for discovering and storing metadata, natural language processing, & more. Third link's to Geospatial Semantic Web Blog w/update on Metalink's ability to map its descriptions into RDF.
Online reference managers are extraordinary productivity tools, but it would be a mistake to take this as their primary interest for the academic community. As it is often the case for social software services, online reference managers are becoming power
While professionally created metadata are often considered of high quality, it is costly in terms of time and effort to produce. User created metadata is a third approach, and this paper focuses on grassroots community classification of digital assets.

Semantic Radar is a semantic metadata detector for Firefox...when detected, shows an icon in browser's status bar. Currently it supports SIOC, FOAF and DOAP metadata.
Annotea is a W3C Semantic Web Advanced Development project that provides a framework for rich communication about Web pages through shared RDF metadata. An RDF model of bookmark classification permits multiple classification systems to be related to each
A great jump towards the advent of the Semantic Web will take place when a critical mass of web resources is available for use in a semantic way. This goal can be reached by the creation of semantic meta-data in the publication workflow, or by the develop
Category search within digital repositories is poorly supported. This means that people wishing to access the assets of digital repositories are largely limited to keyword search, which means they must know what they want in order to look for it. Our part
In this column, Uche Ogbuji completes his introduction to XML and semantics, setting the stage for the more practical columns that will follow. Thinking XML addresses knowledge management aspects of XML, including metadata, semantics, Resource Description
This discussion of XML and semantics kicks off a column by Uche Ogbuji on knowledge management aspects of XML, including metadata, semantics, Resource Description Framework (RDF), Topic Maps, and autonomous agents. Approaching the topic from a practical p
This guide contains links to many RDF resources including examples, documents, software, tools and projects that use RDF, a standard for describing resources on the web.
