Utilize the resources needed to manage information.
Artifact: Exercise 4 on RDF/XML, from LIS 882-Metadata for Digital Resources class
Included here is the script I created in the Oxygen XML Editor program, and which I put into the W3C RDF Validator

Explanation Paragraph:
Metadata class has given me the opportunity to go beyond the basics of metadata and learn how to manage it. To this end, we have used the Oxygen XML Editor program to write well-formed XML files, which is a tool that serves as basis for putting metadata into a form that computers can use. This particular exercise involved numerous components: I had to write XML script in the Oxygen XML Editor program. Since I was creating RDF statements, I had to also write the script adhering to RDF guidelines. I also had to use URIs as literals in my script in addition to using nonliterals, which involved going to the Library of Congress Linked Data Service website to find URIs. I then used the W3C RDF Validator to ensure everything in my script was done properly. This exercise was a good opportunity to continue practicing XML scripting, and engage with the principles of Linked Data to create RDF statements for the given information on this particular item of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.
