Description: Introduction to RDF and DC showing examples of how they can be used for structure web metadata by Andy Powell, UKOLN presented at UKOLUG (June 24, 1998)
UK Office for Library and Information Networking Resource discovery, site-maps, Web collections, content rating, e-commerce and rights management, collaboration, privacy and Web-site management are all examples of Web applications that are based to a greater or lesser extent on metadata. Several of these areas have developed their own metadata systems to satisfy their requirements. Of these the most widely known is probably the simple ‘keywords’ and ‘descriptions’ embedded into HTML META tags that are collected and indexed by the large Web search engines like Alta Vista. In addition, there are the PICS labels that have been developed for content rating on the Web and several semi-proprietary formats for Web collections, mechanisms for grouping together collections of Web resources.
