Metadata per document
1. No or little network effects
2. No reuse of metadata3. Metadata resides in silos4. Data quality hard to
measure5. Not machine-readable
Knowledge about metadata
1. Explicit knowledge models2. Reusable and measurable3. Metadata is machine-
processable4. Standards-based metadata5. Linkable metadata opens silos
SKOS as a ‘backbone’ of knowledge graphs
