Purpose-Library-world "languages of description" are increasingly being expressed using the resource description framework (RDF) for compatibility with linked data approaches. This article aims to look at how issues around the Dublin Core, a small "metadata element set," exemplify issues that must be resolved in order to ensure that library data meet traditional standards for quality and consistency while remaining broadly interoperable with other data sources in the linked data environment. Design/methodology/approach-The article focuses on how the Dublin Core-originally seen, in traditional terms, as a simple record format-came increasingly to be seen as an RDF vocabulary for use in metadata based on a "statement" model, and how new approaches to metadata evolved to bridge the gap between these models. Findings-The translation of library standards into RDF involves the separation of languages of description, per se, from the specific data formats into which they have for so long been embedded. When defined with "minimal ontological commitment," languages of description lend themselves to the sort of adaptation that is inevitably a part of any human linguistic activity. With description set profiles, the quality and consistency of data traditionally required for sharing records among libraries can be ensured by placing precise constraints on the content of data records-without compromising the interoperability of the underlying vocabularies in the wider linked data context. Practical implications-In today's environment, library data must continue to meet high standards of consistency and quality, yet it must be possible to link or merge the data with sources that follow other standards. Placing constraints on the data created, more than on the underlying vocabularies, allows both requirements to be met. Originality/value-This paper examines how issues around the Dublin Core exemplify issues that must be resolved to ensure library data meet quality and consistency standards while remaining interoperable with other data sources.

“…The initial goal of the <INDECS> Project focuses on intellectual property rights and the Project uses the FRBR model as a logical foundation and framework for metadata development and implementation. Some revisions are proposed, subsequently, to achieve the <INDECS> Project's requirements as in the following: Instead of a clear division of MANIFESTATION and ITEM , the <INDECS> Project integrates these two entities into one in order to meet the requirements of intellectual property rights. The <INDECS> Project also emphasizes on the equal importance of information resource, agents and actions, time , and place in order to formulate the <INDECS> model (Bearman, Miller, Rust, Trant & Weibel, 1999).

Institutions (IFLA) . The FRBR model can be deployed as a logical framework for proceeding content-based analysis and developing metadata format. This paper presents a case study of the National Palace Museum (NPM) in Taipei to examine the feasibility of the FRBR model. Based on the examination of case study at the NPM, the FRBR model i s proven to be a useful and fundamental framework for content-based analysis and metadata implementation. We find that the FRBR model is helpful in identifying proper metadata elements organization and their distribution over the FRBR entities. Basically, this model is more suitable for media-centric and association-rich contents. However, in order to refine the FRBR model as a common framework for metadata, it would also require supportive mechanisms for management responsibility relationships for the workflow consideration and functionality elements for preservation purpose. IntroductionCatalogue has been used traditionally as a means for the description of collections in library and museum communities. As the world moves into new era of digital library, metadata analysis, with its inherent dynamic and diverse features, becomes a new technique to deal with networked resources which are often in lack of structure.
