Seeing Standards: A Visualization of the Metadata Universe

Here is a great find for the meta data maven. This site elegantly visualizes the most heavily used metadata standards in the cultural heritage community. The standards are evaluated on their strength of application to defined categories in each of four axes: community, domain, function, and purpose. The work is licensed under a Creative Commons license, so you can take the image file and print out a poster size hard copy locally.

A metadata standard glossary is available in poster or pamphlet form. This is a metadata gem.
