This is an excellent, but I would like to add two sites:
IFLA (International Federation of Libraries Association) http://www.ifla.org/
maintains and extensive bibliography on metadata and digital libraries under
Electronic collections.
There is an introductory text to metadata available on the Web:
Introduction to Metadata edited by Murtha Baca
http://www.getty.edu/gri/standard/intrometadata/
The 2nd edition will be available on the Web end of June, early July.
