What is metadata and why is it important to DEMRI Portal?
Metadata is, literally, “data about data.” Metadata can be better understood as information that describes other information. For example, this FAQ Web page for the DEMRI Portal has an author, a title, a date of creation, and a unique Internet address; this information constitutes the metadata about this page. Working with Reusable Learning, the DEMRI OpenCourse Portal has implemented a strong set of metadata facilities, enabling sophisticated, powerful, and accurate searches across all resources and content materials.
