Abstract

Metadata is data about data. Metadata originated in the context of digital information in databases. This chapter looks at the various standards available for digital document description in the context of bibliographic databases. It also describes the variety of metadata associated with such systems. Some of the metadata standards examined are MARC21, Dublin Core (DC), and Libsys. The second part examines metadata interoperability and mapping among these standards.
