Shareable Metadata…
• Is quality metadata • Promotes search interoperability - “the ability
to perform a search over diverse sets of metadata records and obtain meaningful results” (Priscilla Caplan)
• Is human understandable outside of its local context
• Is useful outside of its local context• Preferably is machine processable

Shareable Metadata as a View
• Metadata is not monolithic
• Metadata should be a view projected from a single information object
• Create multiple views appropriate for groups of important sharing venues
• Depends on:– Use– Audience
