In addition to making the profiles, as submitted, available by country, the Section decided “Bibliographic Control in the Digital Ecosystem, to set up a system permitting comparative analysis.

Structures Supporting the NBA (figure 1) Section 3: Organisation & Administration The third section of the NBR profile deals with the current structure and organisation supporting the creation of the national bibliography. The first two questions in the section ask which organization in the country is presently the primary organization responsible for national bibliographic control, and for its website. This is answered close to unanimously as being the national library (44 of 47 respondents), while 2 respondents indicated that the national bibliographic agency (NBA) is an Figure 1.

  • Metadata Standards

    Metadata Standards

    Chapter 3 METADATA STANDARDS This chapter lists the major metadata standards in use or under development. Standards are subdivided into six areas: general, transportation models, educa- tion, media-specific, preservation, and rights. Each standard lists its official URL, sponsoring agency, community of use, purpose and goals, description, potential for information organizations, and key projects. General metadata standards General metadata standards are the most common, well-known, and univer- sally accepted schemas to date. Some are general and meant to be used as universal or common-denominator standards; others are for specific communi- ties with specific information resources. Most of the metadata standards listed here have emerged as practical applications in use, or will probably emerge as the most commonly applied standards, due to broad international support, history and development, or industry application and acceptance. Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) http://dublincore.org The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is managed by an international board of trustees, but most of the direction and maintenance of the standard has been led by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) in Dublin, Ohio. Community of use Library Technology Reports Librarians, Web content providers, Web resource creators, metadata creators, and general public. Purpose and goals Dublin Core assists in the discovery and description of Web and electronic resources. It is designed to provide a simple descriptive metadata standard extensible to Web resources of any format or subject domain. Description www.techsource.ala.org Dublin Core is a set of 15 core elements that assist in simple description and discovery of electronic resources. The standards basic principles are the reasons for its success as a viable common-denominator metadata standard for elec- tronic resources.

LIBER has, judging from the records, never met in Sweden, although a former vice president back in the 1980s, Thomas Tottie, was the director of Uppsala University Library. Thomas Tottie is now retired, but he is participating in our con- ference in this, his old library. I am particularly pleased to be able to welcome not only many familiar colleagues, but also many new members and partic- ipants from all over Europe. I also warmly welcome guests from other organisations, partners, and sponsors, who all support the work of LIBER in many different ways. The meeting place of this year is the oldest university in the Nordic countries, founded in 1477, just two years ahead of my own in Copenhagen.
