ED Web Metadata Reference — Controlled Vocabulary Term Hierarchy and Use

 

 

Select one of the metadata elements listed on the left to:

  • browse the full list of approved vocabulary terms for the element;

  • display detailed information about a term, including its definition and relationships to other terms and synonyms; or

  • search for items assigned the term on ED's web sites or in any or all of the collections in ED's Cross-Site Index.

Note: Ultraseek retrieves all items where the meta tag contains the selected term, including not only exact matches but also phrases containing the term as a distinct word. For example, searching for dc.subject:"ability" will retrieve not only "Ability" but also "Writing Ability", but it will not retrieve "Accountability".
