Metadata is a key tool in describing and managing information assets. It is particularly important to have an effective identification system for information assets since many are invisible, hidden in web sites or databases, until a user initiates a search to find the assets relevant to a current need.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Les métadonnées constituent des outils importants pour la description et la gestion des produits d'information. Disposer d'un système efficace dans ce domaine s'avère d'autant plus important que les ressources d'information sont le plus souvent invisibles, car elles demeurent enfouies dans une base de données ou un site Web jusqu'à ce qu'un utilisateur lance une requête pour repérer des renseignements dont il a ponctuellement besoin.

OBS

La terminologie anglaise et française de cette fiche a trait à la navigation et à la présentation des sites Internet du Gouvernement canadien et provient des Normes et lignes directrices du Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada.
