In this 4-class certificate program, you will learn the purposes and functions of metadata, understand how XML is used to express a variety of metadata standards, explore various metadata standards currently in use, learn about customization and interoperability of metadata, and explore the importance of relationships in metadata. To earn the certificate, you must complete the following classes: * Metadata Basics * Metadata Standards and Types * Metadata Customization, Exchange, Transformation and Migration * Metadata Relationships Each class requires a written assignment. To earn the Metadata Principles and Practices certificate, you must also complete a capstone project.
