| 1: | Metadata Conversion and the Library OPAC Metadata Conversion and the Library OPAC Amanda Xu Serials Cataloger, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Room 14E-210A, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA Copyright © 1997 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction The number of scholarly information resources offered on the Internet has grown tremendously and will increase exponentially in the future. This development has pointed up the need for applying metadata to networked information resources, as it has been widely accepted that resources with metadata attached or embedded have the potential to be more easily discovered and retrieved via the Internet. This paper examines the metadata movement on the Internet, and anticipates the need to establish a metadata repository for library collections. It suggests using the OPAC as a gateway to access the metadata repository, whether it is located on the library Website, or on the local databases mounted with specialized metadata formats. ... http://web.mit.edu/waynej/www/xu.htm |

These metadata are Dublin Core (DC), MARC21 (formerly USMARC), and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. The EE-IR Center was formed as a partnership between the National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) of the U.S. Geological Survey and the Center for Advanced Computer Studies of the University of Southwestern Louisiana (CACS/USL). Both partners are located in Lafayette, Louisiana. The EE-IR Center ... http://southernlibrarianship.icaap.org/... n02/foley_d01.html |

That is, metadata describes some aspect of data on the Internet. There has been significant activity recently on defining the semantic and technical aspects of metadata for use on the Internet and WWW. A number of metadata sets have been proposed together with the technological framework to support the interchange of metadata. These initiatives will have a dramatic effect on how the Web is indexed and will improve the discovery of resources on the Internet by a significant factor. This paper reviews some of ... http://www.dstc.edu.au/RDU/publications/cause97/ |

What Is Spatial Metadata? Examples of descriptive data contained in a typical database for a building, e.g. hotel, in a local government area are lot number, lot size, lot owner, building owner, building material, year built, assessed value, number of stories, number of guest rooms, restaurants, meeting rooms, list of staff, and so on. Metadata describe these data about the hotel in yet more general and less detailed terms. Thus, metadata are frequently referred to as data about data. Data about the hotel are then grouped ... http://www.muni.org/... /Metadata%20Management%20in%20GIS.htm |
