摘要：Since the emergence of the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s, metadata has been recognized as a key technology for digital libraries. Metadata is typically defined as “data about other data” – a simple definition that embraces a broad range of resources from library catalogues and indexes to thesauri, ratings, reviews and terms and conditions for use. On the Internet, metadata is designed for tasks ranging from resource description and discovery to archiving, trading, content filtering, resource syndication and information management. This diversity of purpose reflects the variety of information resources available on the Internet, ranging from personal web pages to huge portals for government information, digital libraries and shopping catalogues, as well as the variety of users ranging from young children to businesses and professionals.
