In this second workshop in the series "Metadata Principles and Practices," students will discover how metadata standards are created and explore several standards commonly in use today. Topics include: XML DTDs and schemas; types and examples of metadata currently in use today. This class should be taken after "Metadata Basics," but can be taken without the other two workshops in the series.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the roles of schemas and DTDs in defining tags, attributes and structures used in defining metadata standards
• List types of metadata and their roles in:
• Describing resources o defining rights and controlling access to resources o providing access to resources
• Preserving and maintaining resources
