Abstract

Abstract: This article discusses the international scientific panorama on semantic metadata using bibliometric indicators and the positioning of Information Science concerning the theme. Bibliographic research and bibliometric studies provided the opportunity to identify indicators of scientific production on semantic metadata to show how this theme is addressed in the international scenario. Bibliometric indicators on semantic metadata are presented as results related to annual production, areas of knowledge, types of documents, main sources of publication and keyword clustering analysis. It can be concluded that the bibliographic production on semantic metadata is still not significant in the Information Science research agendas, which presupposes the development of research that considers theoretical and methodological constructs on semantic metadata in the current technological context.
