Assume that
G

G
,
E
G
is a connected graph. For a set of vertices
W
E
⊆
V
G
, two edges
g
1
,
g
2
∈
E
G
are distinguished by a vertex
x
1
∈
W
E
, if
d

.
W
E
is termed edge metric generator for
G
if any vertex of
W
E
distinguishes every two arbitrarily distinct edges of graph
G
. Furthermore, the edge metric dimension of
G
, indicated by
edim
G
, is the cardinality of the smallest
W
E
for
G
. The edge metric dimensions of the dragon, kayak paddle, cycle with chord, generalized prism, and necklace graphs are calculated in this article.
