The evolving role of metadata

David Haynes will talk about ways in which the role of metadata in the digital economy is changing. In his book ‘Metadata for information management and Retrieval’ he talks about the six purposes of metadata. Some areas such as information retrieval are due a re-think and other areas such as information governance are becoming more critical.

David is Secretary of ISKO and former chair of ISKO UK. He teaches and does research in the Creative and Social Informatics group at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland.
