This book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of metadata, from its origins in the ancient cities of the Middle East, to the Semantic Web of today.
The author takes us on a journey through the centuries-old history of metadata up to the modern world of crowdsourcing and Google, showing how metadata works and what it is made of. The author explores how it has been used ideologically and how it can never be objective. He argues how central it is to human cultures and the way they develop.
Metadata: Shaping Knowledge from Antiquity to the Semantic Web is for all readers with an interest in how we humans organize our knowledge and why this is important. It is suitable for those new to the subject as well as those know its basics. It also makes an excellent introduction for students of information science and librarianship.
Throughout his career, his research has concentrated on metadata, a subject in which he has published widely. He is on the editorial board for METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard), a widely-used metadata standard in digital libraries. He has also maintained a long-term interest in international librarianship, which has taken him in the past to China, Bangladesh, India, Taiwan, Uzbekistan and Armenia amongst other countries.

“The book presents an enjoyable bird’s-eye view of metadata and related concepts, with outstanding examples accessible to non-experts. … I highly recommend the book.” (H. I. Kilov, Computing Reviews, May, 2017)
“The book covers continuous evolution of metadata from the history of cataloguing to the modern forms … . This book will attract readers interested in metadata, the semantic web, metadata ontologies, digital libraries, and semantic retrieval. So, it is highly recommended to information professionals, digital librarians and students. The book is well structured and motivating. The results of Gartner’s effort are very much worth reading due to his librarianship perspective on metadata.” (Elaheh Hossseini, Information Research, informationr.net, Vol. 22 (1), March, 2017)
“All of the usual elements of a book on metadata are present and correct … I would urge you to read this book if you are new to cataloguing or if you are old in cataloguing and world-weary about our professional mission. It’s a book to provoke your own thoughts, and quite possibly to give to your manager if you suspect they are unsure why metadata, why cataloguing and, therefore, why you and your team matter.” (Anne Welsh, Catalogue and Index, cilip.org.uk, Issue 186, March, 2017)
“The book provides an overview of existing metadata approaches and standards such as MARC,
“This slim volume aims to provide the reader with an overview of the history and development of metadata from the earliest times to the present day, and it offers a straightforward and readable account of metadata for the novice or the non-professional. … There is plenty here to intrigue and entertain for those wanting a lightweight introduction to the subject, at a very attractive price … .” (Vanda Broughton, Library & Information History, Vol. 33 (2), 2017)
