In this episode, we focus on XML— eXtensible Markup Language. XML plays a very important role in the IT realm and it’s imperative for publishers (especially those who work on digital content) to have a solid understanding of XML. And XML is the foundation to the understanding of a big family of many other markup languages, such as Dublin Core, CDWA Lite, EAD, etc.  Welcome to go to my blog Learning Metadata for Publishing to check the transcripts.

In this episode, we focus on one piece of basic metadata for books— title. We take a look at how a single piece of metadata, book title, could be structured differently with three different vocabularies—ONIX, schema.org, and EPUB, and how you can make use of that structure to describe your books better. When you dive into each specific type of metadata or semantic markup languages, you’ll find the heads-up in this episode very helpful.
