Metadata

Hi all,

I haven't had to do the Metadata side of things for a while and it's
time to bring myself up to scratch...

I wanted to first ask if someone could point me in the direction of a
resource that explains how to create good accessible Metadata. I am
guessing accessibility and SEO would go hand in hand with the correct
metadata, but a resource that speaks about both would be great.

Which leads me to my next question; does anybody on here use Dublin
Core metadata? I did last time I had to add metadata, but looking
around at other reputable sites, it doesn't seem like anyone else
does. Is Dublin Core not worth adding? Does Dublin core improve SEO,
or do you need to add seperate metadata for this?

Thanks for any thoughts offered.
