« Metadata » very fashinoable term but what does it mean?
Defintion, examples and standards
WHAT ARE METADATA?
METADATA ARE DEFINED BY THEIR FUNCTION
• Ease search/discovery of information• Describe content and
relationships between files
• Classify content based on targeted audience
• Help the SEO of a page
• Ease the interoperability• Share information
• Ease management and archiving• Give an information about
the document’s lifecycle
• Manage sets of resources
• Manage electronic archives
•Manage rights• Copyright
• Security
METADATA TYPES
• Bibliographic Metadata: allowing to access the document (author, title, creation date, modification date…)
• Administrative Metadata: legal, lifecycle, copyright, processing
• Technical Metadata: format, how it was produced, storage.
• Description Metadata: to understand the content
DUBLIN CORE
Dublin core elements
Title Given name of the resourceAuthor Entity mainly responsible for resource’s content creation.
Subject Subject of the content (controlled vocabulary and classification schemas are suggested)
Description Description of the content (eg. Summary, table of content, or simply text…)
Editor Entity responsible for resource’s diffusion (company, university…)
Contributor Entity which contributed to the creation of the content.
Date Date associated to an event in resource’s lifecycle (format : see ISO 8601)
TypeNature ou genre (ex. categories, functions, general kind… controlled vocabulary recommended, see Dublin Core)
Format Physical or digital materialization of the content (mime-type)
Identifier Disambiguated (unique) reference to the content (examples : URI, URL, DOI, ISBN)
Source Reference to a resource from which this one has been derived.
Language Content’s language
Relation Reference to another related resource.
Coverage Range or coverage of the resource in space or time or legally.
Rights Security and copyright information.
METADATA STRUCTUREHow to define/organize it
CONTROLLED VOCABULARY
• A controlled vocabulary is a glossary designed to allow knowledge organization in order to optimize information lookup/search.
•Classification schemes (taxonomy, thesaurus, ontology) use a controlled vocabulary.
TAXONOMY
• Subsumption relationship “is-a”
• Transitivity
• If C is a B and B is an A, C is an AVehicules
Land Vehicules
Car
Truck
Bus
Air Vehicules
Airplane
Balloon
Rocket
Sea Vehicule
Boat
Submarine
THESAURUS
• Taxonomy++
• Hierarchy + propertiesConept or potential term Car
Generic Term Véhicule
Specific Term
Domains vehicule - transport [MT 3330]
Regional variations
French equivalent voiture
Associated Terms [TA] craft : transport [MT 6005]automobile technic [MT 3510]
ONTOLOGY
Partitive relationships: Part-whole (car, chassis, wheels, engine) Composite-component (steel, iron)Content-container (tools, toolbox) Membre-collection( football player, team).
Associative relationships :Cause-effet (detonator, explosion)Agent-action-result (drawer, drawing) Producer-product (waste site, recycled product) Tool-tool (scewdriver, screw) Topologic relationships (oasis, desert).
ONTOLOGY OF A CAR
FOLKSONOMY
• Comes from “folk” (people) and “taxonomy”. Indexing spontaneously by keywords without pre-defined classification.
• This process is collaborative. (sometimes also called social tagging)
FACETS
•Description of a resource following multiple axes
•Allows you to search/refine by facet
CONCEPTS
• Term = denomination + concept
• Denomination = linguistic expression
• Concept = meaning
• The term has to have a context to understand the concept
• Ex table• Coffee table?
• Table of content?
• Timetable?
• Discussion table?
NAMED ENTITIES
•Main types of entities•Person’s names
•Places
•Organizations
•Products
•Dates
•Currencies
RECAP
Schema Taxonomy Thesaurus Ontology Folksonomy Facets
Organization
Simple hierarchical relationships
Hierarchical relationships (hyponymy, hypernymy) , associative relationships and equivalent relationships
Concepts with types, properties and relationships
Tags set by users as the like
Allows to describe a resource following multiple azes
Relationship type
« is a » « is a »« sort of »« related to »« synonym »« equivalent »
« contains »« is located»« uses »« produces »« … »
« price »« product »« kind »
Context Library Web 3.0 Web 2.0 Example Dewey Rameau Cyc, Wordnet Flickr, YouTube Amazon
NOT SLEEPING YET?Good let’s talk about SharePoint now
SHAREPOINTWhat can it do for you?
FOLDERS
•A folder structure is already a form of metadata
•Very simple to set up
•Complicated to change
•Trick•Don’t use it unless you have permissions related needs
TAXONOMY
•Advantages:• Search
• Filtering
• Advanced control
• Consistency
•Disadvantages:• Takes time to set up
•Tips:•Use most issued search requests to improve it!
•Delegate management of some branches
• If you don’t have a clear idea yet, use folksonomy
ENTERPRISE KEYWORDS
•Advantages:• Easier fro end users
• Takes into consideration keywords inside of documents
•Disadvantages:•Harder to manage
•No context during indexation
FOLKSONOMY
Content « like »Tagging (with user’s words)
NotesUser Profile
Filtered NavigationSearch refiner
Topics and power users to followDeprecated on SharePoint online!!!
DOCUMENTS SETS
« this document is related to that other one »Creates a documents « group » modelProperties can be common or individual
Trick:Can also be used for security purposes (not primary role)Don’t hesitate to create new content types inhereting from it
COLUMNS AND CONTENT TYPES
• Information about what the content is (CT)
• Adds properties (columns)
• Allows filtering, refinement, search….
• Allows to have multiple entry forms(CT)
NAVIGATION BY TAXONOMY
• Enhances nvigation
• Prepares users to use refiners
• Easy to set up
• Is a great alternative to/transition from folders
WIKIS
• Quick pages creation system
• Allows to link web content
• Advantages:• Very easy and fast to set up
• Disadvantages:• No advanced publication features
SEO/WEB METADATA
• By default SharePoint pages include little metadata (search engines)
• Publishing + 2013 allows us to provide more data• Description
• Keywords
• Sitemap
• Author
• Browser title
• …
FACETS
• Improve search
• Located on the left with search results
• Use metadata (all)
• You can (must!) customize it
• Very efficient to filter out not relevant data and drill down to the right result
DOCUMENT CENTER
•Organizes content with taxonomy• Drop off library
• Applies governance rules based on taxonomy
SITE METADATA NAVIGATION
•Build top navigation + urls with taxonomy
•Useful for SEO
•Great to build a portal in a “semantic” way•Structure depends on your thesaurus
OTHER METADATA
• Author
• Security
• Views (count)
• Containers (sites, doc libs…)
• Resource type (extension, mime)
•Dates (creation, modification…)
• Status (approval)
OK, WE GOT ITBut what is this all about?
VISIONThat’s the part where we have a plan

WHAT’S THE POINT?
The general idea is to have a precise representation and a good structure of the ideas of
the company
Copyright Vincent BIRET ;-)
YES BUT!
Users never fill up metadata!
Solutions:
Index their salary on metadata fill up rate
Wall of shame of worst metadata “filler” of the company
Automate that part!
GRAPH? DELVE?Only buzz words?
GRAPH
• First of all it’s a mathematics model• Nodes, edges and by transivity “routes”
• Then data model• Idea that on piece of data is related to another
• Finally Microsoft is making huge investments for businesses• Actors, signals, objects
• Schema is extensible to add METDATA!
DELVE
It’s only one of the clients
DEMODelve portal
WHAT’S THE IDEA?
• Pro-active content
• Discoverability
• No need to search for something anymore
• If we still need to search something, way more efficient
• Make you save time, therefor money
CONCLUSIONTime to say good bye :’-(
CONCLUSION
•We improved navigation
•We improved findability
•We improved discoverability
•We improved user experience
•Everybody saves time
•The company saves money
