Managing Metadata in Web-Scale Discovery Systems

摘要

Although the title might suggest a technical manual, Managing Metadata in Web-Scale Discovery Systems is an edited collection that gracefully examines a variety of aspects of metadata management and never strays too far from the underpinning theme of practical application. The introductory chapter by editor Louise Spiteri introduces the reader to the "landscape of web-scale discovery," and this sets the stage for a tour of what has become quite an exciting landscape, though not without its challenges.
