"Your question about the differences between MARC records and archives programs is interesting - I'm vaguely familiar with MARC, but not at all familiar with archives databases. I hope we talk about this in class!

I also didn't realize so many locks were involved in databases - still, I'm not sure I understand what they all do, exactly. Wikipedia is so helpful in pointing out what I really, really just don't know... not so helpful with explaining it"

I agree, that definition of metadata is really illuminating. I wish the rest of the article had been so clear! I'm not at all sure what Dublin Core is, but I'm interested in the idea of standardizing metadata. The pros and cons to that tactic would be interesting to read more about.
