METS
Library Hi-Tech vol. 20, no. 3 (2002) p. 255-257 has the paper "METS and the metadata marketplace" by Michael Seadle.
One purpose of the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is to deal with the multiplication of metadata types in recent years, and especially metadata that deal with non-paper materials, including audiovisual sources and their digital representations. In that sense, it is a kind of meta-metadata. But is it needed? Market forces may decide.The same issue also has "From MARC to MARC 21 and beyond: some reflections on MARC and the Arabic language" by Zahiruddin Khurshid p. 370-377.
The paper aims to review major developments in the MARC format, including a brief description of metadata schemes and cross-walks. It also offers an assessment of how well MARC works for Arabic script materials, a description of the degree to which MARC is used in Saudi Arabia, and the prospects for the use of XML versions of MARC in the Arab world.
