The metadata class I lead, devised as a kind of introduction to the
nuts-and-bolts of the genre, covers Dublin Core, VRA, TEI, and EAD with
a side (read: review) of MARC. I also bring up other metadata issues
such as thesaurus development. My predecessor included some information
on GIS and perhaps one other scheme, but my memory is a bit fuzzy in
this regard.
