PRISM News
PRISM (Publishing Requirements for Industry Standard Metadata) has announced the availability of the new PRISM Cookbook.
The PRISM Cookbook builds on the PRISM Specification and assumes users have a basic understanding of metadata and PRISM. It does not answer questions such as ?What is metadata??, ?What is PRISM??, and ?Why choose PRISM??, but assists implementers by providing a set of practical implementation steps for a chosen set of use cases and provides insights into more sophisticated PRISM capabilities.There is also an online video about the Cookbook.
