Event Description
Metadata is critical to finding content. However, the expansion of digital
content and rapid changes in access and use pose tremendous challenges to
the effective organization, description, and management of this information.
Established cataloging practices are changing to incorporate these new forms
and increased segmentation of content, and at the same time we see new and
changing structures for the creation and distribution of metadata. This
session will discuss the role that metadata plays in the lifecycle of
content, from publisher to end user, including looking at the shifting
bibliographic supply chain, various needs that metadata answers, and
questions around exchange processes and how different metadata is used.
Speakers include:
- Kevin Cohn, Director of Client Services, Atypon Systems, Inc.

- Helen Henderson, Managing Director of Information Power, Ringgold
