Pomerantz (information scientist, Univ. of Washington, Seattle) provides a short yet broad treatment on the foundations of library and information science. His work focuses particularly on the pillars of description and markup, and how these help drive the systemwide data storage, data collection, and mass-data retrieval underpinning people's digitally driven lives. Chapters cover the ways in which metadata are constructed and used, including descriptive, administrative, and use metadata. A beneficial illustrative example on the structure of data is presented in the section "Enabling Technologies for Metadata," particularly spanning XML and its key features for making a range of metadata uses and creation possible. Later chapters delve into the semantic Web and network analysis, particularly in the social domain. What this book especially excels at is addressing an array of topics in a concise and accessible manner. VERDICT Recommended for students and scholars within library and information science fields and those looking to learn more about the profession.—Jim Hahn, Univ. Lib., Univ. of Illinois, Urbana
