So begins ETL505 Information Resource Description. It sounds dry and difficult - I am wading through the text with its many terms and new vocabulary that I am trying to digest and wondering if I will get my head around things. Essentially though, information resource description is the metadata that one creates about an information resource that help users to find and access the resources they need to gain the knowledge they want.
I came across this image and thought that it quite aptly shows what I mean.
