Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). (n.d.). Online:
http://www.dublincore.org
|
| |
Dublin Core was the first initiative to standardize metadata for the
Internet. Although
Dublin Core is not specific to linguistics (it was
originally created to be general enough to describe anything in the
world), the site offers further information regarding the technical
aspects of metadata creation.

This document, written by Jeff Good, is one of the most accessible
descriptions of metadata for the linguist. It begins by describing
metadata and its necessity, and then goes on to show how to create
metadata. It includes a complete
bibliography at the end.

As one of the initiators of metadata standards and a harvester (search engine)
for linguistic data, OLAC
houses a wide variety of resources concerning linguistic metadata on its site.
Although some information is difficult to understand without a technical
background, the site takes into account the different backgrounds of its visitors.
For the novice, the
OLAC FAQ section is a good source of information.
