These might include, for example, resource description and discovery, the management of information resources and their long- term preservation.” Metadata in a Nutshell, by Michael Day, UKOLN Metadata in a Nutshell Support a Wide Range of Operations

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.
