There is an entire conference about metadata and vocabularies. This is insane. But important. I actually wish I could learn all the content about the conference without actually traveling.

Metadata people say "Dublin Core" a lot and until you know what that is, it is very perplexing.
Dublin Core (from wikipedia):
The Dublin Core set of metadata elements provides a small and fundamental group of text elements through which most resources can be described and catalogued. Using only 15 base text fields, a Dublin Core metadata record can describe physical resources such as books, digital materials such as video, sound, image, or text files, and composite media like web pages. Metadata records based on Dublin Core are intended to be used for cross-domain information resource description and have become standard in the fields of library science and computer science. Implementations of Dublin Core typically make use of XML and are Resource Description Framework based.
