JISC Report from April 2008 “ Metadata for digital libraries: state of the art and future directions ” by Richard Gartner  Many available Schemas (DC, METS, MODS, …)  Each schema was singularly developed and not designed as an overal architecture to cover integrated object entities  JISC recommends therefore to overcome the problem by best practise guidelines and pragmatic application  Issues of duplicate information (overlap in sections of metadata) need rules and are currently being addressed by the library community in good practise guidelines

© Brigitte Jörg November 11th, 2009 St. Andrews, Scotland 66 euroCRIS Members Meeting CERIF Tutorial What is going on ? JISC Report from April 2008 “ Metadata for digital libraries: state of the art and future directions ” by Richard Gartner  XML is of great importance to embed and make use of namespaces  Combining Metadata standards, even a limited such as described above, will always be messier than utilising a single standard that combines their taxonomic powers and resolves any potential clashes or duplications between them.  Integration by itself would of course be of little consequence if the standards themselves failed to address the metadata needs of the digital library community. In this respect, the provenance of each standard is of some importance. All have been constructed by authoritative standard setters within their communities.  Most of the mentioned standards have proved their ability to meet the requirements of major and highly complex digital collections.
