“…104 Existing descriptive cataloging methodologies and the bibliographic ontology descriptions in cataloging and metadata standards set the stage for redesigning and developing better ways of improved information retrieval and interoperability. 105 Besides the massive heaps of information on the web, the library community (especially digital libraries) has devised standards for metadata and bibliographic description to meet the interoperability requirements for this part of the data on the web. 106 Semantic Web technologies could be exploited to make information presentation, storage, and retrieval more user-friendly for digital libraries.…”

Linked Open Data (LOD) is a core Semantic Web technology that makes knowledge and information spaces of different knowledge domains manageable, reusable, shareable, exchangeable, and interoperable. The LOD approach achieves this through the provision of services for describing, indexing, organizing, and retrievingknowledge artifacts and making them available for quick consumption and publication. Thisis also alignedwith the role and objective of traditional library cataloging. Owing to this link, majorlibraries of the world are transferring their bibliographic metadata to the LOD landscape. Some developments in this direction include the replacement of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2nd Edition by the Resource Description and Access (RDA) and the trend towards the wideradoption of BIBFRAME 2.0. An interestingand related development in this respect arethe discussions among knowledge resources managers and library community on the possibility of enriching bibliographic metadata with socially curated or user-generated content. The popularity of Linked Open Data and its benefit to librarians and knowledge management professionals warrant a comprehensive survey of the subject. Althoughseveral reviews and survey articles on the application of Linked Data principles to cataloging have appeared in literature, a generic yet holistic review of the current state of Linked and Open Data in cataloging is missing. To fill the gap, the authors have collected recent literature (2014–18) on the current state of Linked Open Data in cataloging to identify research trends, challenges, and opportunities in this area and, in addition, to understand the potential of socially curated metadata in cataloging mainlyin the realm of the Web of Data. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this review article is the first of its kind that holistically treats the subject of cataloging in the Linked and Open Data environment. Some of the findings of the review are: Linked and Open Data is becoming the mainstream trend in library cataloging especially in the major libraries and research projects of the world; with the emergence of Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV), the bibliographic metadata is becoming more meaningful and reusable; and, finally, enriching bibliographic metadata with user-generated content is gaining momentum.Conclusions drawn from the study include the need for a focus on the quality of catalogued knowledge and the reduction of the barriers to the publication and consumption of such knowledge, and the attention on the part of library community to the learning from the successful adoption of LOD in other application domains and contributing collaboratively to the global scale activity of cataloging.

“…Metadata are an indispensable component of any research data repository's definition, purpose, and function because it is the basis of the practical creation and maintenance of metadata standards that enable the management of research data [22,23]. If metadata records are formatted to a common standard, they can facilitate the readability of the metadata by both humans and machines and machine to machine [24,25]. Thus, to make research data publicly accessible and reusable, researchers need to deposit their raw data and datasets into repositories and provide metadata records that conform to the repository's metadata schema [9,[26][27][28][29].…”

“…Thus, to make research data publicly accessible and reusable, researchers need to deposit their raw data and datasets into repositories and provide metadata records that conform to the repository's metadata schema [9,[26][27][28][29]. A metadata schema is an entity, including the semantic components and content (called a set of metadata elements), such as encoding the metadata with a syntax or markup language like the Machine-Readable Cataloguing (MARC) format and an eXtensible Markup Language (XML)/Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML) DTD, which has three basic parts or characteristics [24,30]: Using a standardised metadata schema improves data interoperability and allows diverse datasets to be merged or aggregated in meaningful ways [10]. Research data loss in most repositories starts with the wrong or a lack of metadata standards.…”

This systematic review synthesised existing research papers that explore the available metadata standards to enable researchers to preserve, discover, and reuse research data in repositories. This review provides a broad overview of certain aspects that must be taken into consideration when creating and assessing metadata standards to enhance research data preservation discoverability and reusability strategies. Research papers on metadata standards, research data preservation, discovery and reuse, and repositories published between January 2003 and April 2023 were reviewed from a total of five databases. The review retrieved 1597 papers, and 13 papers were selected in this review. We revealed 13 research articles that explained the creation and application of metadata standards to enhance preservation, discovery, and reuse of research data in repositories. Among them, eight presented the three main types of metadata, descriptive, structural, and administrative, to enable the preservation of research data in data repositories. We noted limited evidence on how these metadata standards can be used to enhance the discovery and reuse of research data in repositories to enable the preservation, discovery, and reuse of research data in repositories. No reviews indicated specific higher education institutions employing metadata standards for the research data created by their researchers. Repository designs and a lack of expertise and technology know-how were among the challenges identified from the reviewed papers. The review has the potential to influence professional practice and decision-making by stakeholders, including researchers, students, librarians, information communication technologists, data managers, private and public organisations, intermediaries, research institutions, and non-profit organizations.
