If you're working in educational technology standards and specifications you may want to look at this free online book, Introduction to Metadata, edited by Murtha Baca. This is version 3.0. I've had a look through it (not a close read, but a survey) and the first three chapters look comprehensive and accurate. The last two chapters are much less complete; the section on 'rights metadata', in particular, is woefully inadequate (it doesn't even mention XrML and ODRL, much less the features of the models these langauges are based on).
