In general, this book is easy to read and follow throughout. Among some of its useful features are the appendices in chapter 2 that list elements from various metadata element sets such as Dublin Core, GILS, Ariadne and also categories for the description of works of Art. Furthermore, the examples provided in chapters 4 and 5 about the use of metadata for the description of monographic and periodical material and their provided solutions make it interesting for undergraduate students and early stage researchers in the area of metadata research to follow.
