This service will retrieve a Web page and automatically generate
Dublin Core metadata,
either as HTML <meta> tags or as RDF/XML, suitable for
embedding in the <head>...</head> section of the page.
The generated metadata can be edited using the form provided and
converted to various other formats (USMARC, SOIF, IAFA/ROADS, TEI
headers, GILS, IMS or RDF) if required. Optional, context
sensitive, help is available while editing.
The Dublin Core is a metadata element set intended
to facilitate discovery of electronic resources. Originally
conceived for author-generated description of Web resources, it has
attracted the attention of formal resource description communities
such as museums, libraries, government agencies and commercial
organizations.
