Committee on Cataloging to present a technical session on metadata at the Annual Conference, New York, June 9, 2003.
Metadata Standards: what's new & how will they impact your work
Monday, Jun 09, 2003 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Sponsors: Technical Standards Committee, Committee on Cataloging, Division of Information Technology
Level: Intermediate

As information technologies evolve, metadata standards have become widely accepted in organizing information resources of both print and non-print. The most noticeable standards activities include Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standards (METS) and METS' extension schema Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS). METS schema is designed to encode descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata for objects within a digital library using the XML schema language. MODS is an extension of METS in the form of XML schema for descriptive metadata that uses MARC definitions, so is compatible with existing library bibliographic data. By using the new XML technologies, METS and its extension schemas are bridging AACR2 and MARC with the new technology to make it easier and more effective for the cataloging and management of information resources. Do you want to know how these standards will impact your work? Come to this session to find out more!

Speakers:

  • Overview of metadata standards: Marcia L. Zeng, Kent State University
  • METS: Jerome McDonough, New York University
  • MODS: Rebecca Guenther, Library of Congress
Sponsor: Inmagic, Inc.
