This book can be best summed up by the word comprehensive, though there was one particular omission that I think would be noticed by most record managers. It covers the creation, management and use of metadata from its historical beginnings as library catalogues to the Web 2.0 social tagging of online resources. Along the way it describes what metadata is, who creates it, who uses it, what systems you will find it in and the standards and vocabularies used to control it. The viewpoint is centred on the English speaking world, but other European standards and perspectives are included.
