- Here's another reason why metadata matters
- The ShowYou video app puts metadata (or the lack thereof) in the spotlight, by Mac Slocum. O'Reilly Radar, 18 April 2011. "... The area where metadata is most important, however, is video. That content is locked within formats that are generally inaccessible to search spiders and aggregation bots. There's no way to know about the insightful perspective captured at a clip's 2-minute mark or the funny pratfall 45 seconds in. Left unaddressed, most video clips have the discovery prowess of a "DSC0000.jpg" file. That's why a random video still and a vague title won't cut it. We need metadata to extract the value and explain why a clip is worth viewing..."

- Metadata isn't a chore, it's a necessity
- Laura Dawson on how metadata keeps publishers relevant, by Jenn Webb. O'Reilly Radar, 24 January 2011. "Employing metadata as part of a publishing process feels like a completely different world from traditional print publishing. On first glance, categories and descriptors have little connection to flowing prose. However, that's an ill-advised perspective. As digital publishing grows exponentially — and discovery gets harder — metadata's role becomes even more important. In the following interview, Laura Dawson, content chief at Firebrand Technologies and a speaker at TOC 2011, explains how a focus on metadata will help publishers stay viable both now and down the road..."

- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). National Archives of Australia, Version 1.0, July 2010. "The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web. It is particularly intended for representing metadata such as the title, author and creation date of a resource, copyright and licensing, or the availability a shared resource. RDF can also be used to represent information about things that can be identified online even if they are only available offline. This document provides guidelines for expressing AGLS metadata using RDF. This Guide is for use with AGLS Metadata Standard Part 1: Reference Description, which explains the semantics of the AGLS properties, and AGLS Metadata Standard: Guide to expressing AGLS metadata in XML, which explains the XML syntax of AGLS properties. AGLS Metadata Standard Part 2: Usage Guide gives a general overview of AGLS implementation, includes information about certain business issues that need to be resolved when making a decision to implement AGLS metadata, and examples in HTML and XHTML. This document assumes a basic knowledge of the concepts of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and RDF and is intended for those familiar with XML/RDF and wishing to implement AGLS..."

- by Jeffrey Beall. Metadata - How a Cataloger Views and Interprets the World, July 11, 2010. "... DC enthusiasts are taking the same approach with linked data that they used with Dublin Core.
