Rec:Book. Metadata by Jeffrey Pomerantz
Metadata by Jeffrey Pomerantz is a very enjoyable introduction into the world of, well, metadata, and I mean that in the best sense: it is humorous, clear and concise, treating the topic of each chapter in the right amount of depth for a beginner. Obviously, teaching all those MOOCs was a great thing for this book, because there was nothing in it I didn’t understand. (Speaking of which, a lot of videos are available on his channel on youtube concerning the topic!) Absolutely essential for every beginner!
