I can't believe I not only read this whole book, I also summarized and annotated every chapter. Oh Dr. Koh, how could you do that to me....

Required reading for a Master's Metadata course. Definitely an informative read that is easy to understand.

Three and a half. A great overview, but dated, now, with technology moving so quickly. There is a newer (3rd) addition. Unfortunately, the publishing of this edition was delayed almost two years, originally.
