How can you get your information to the right audience? What can make web search more meaningful? Metadata is the right option! It will give a precise description for your resource (book, web pages, audio/video material etc).
Do you know that we use metadata everyday?! Searching for the nutritional information of a product at a supermarket…that metadata!
On the web, we can make use of different types of meta data:
- Descriptive metadata: subject, form and creators of the resource
- Administrative metadata: who owns that resource and who has the right to keep it
- Technical metadata: how this resources is stored, and the system specifications needed to access that resource
- Rights metadata: legal rights on that resource
Metamedia gives the opportunity for students and teachers to share media-rich resources. These can be subject-specific, thus one can further incorporate multimedia resources to make teaching more interesting. Indeed, when such multi-media resources are utilised, students can shape better their interpretations and may get a deeper understanding of complex concepts
MetaMedia framework, wants to ensure that that everything will be interoperable with other current and also future media resources with other Educational Technology Systems. Thus, Metadata Services Unit is doing a metadata implementation for this framework to best create and use metadata.
