<p> This book should be of interest to anyone involved with metadata and digital libraries. Researchers, librarians and other practitioners using metadata should find the information in the book very useful. Furthermore, the book could also be a fruitful reference source for students. The book is written on a level that would appeal to both novices and more experienced metadata practitioners. - <p>Library Hi Tech

It is well structured, logically organised and contains a useful collection of references to ongoing work in this area.
