Abstract:Metadata has taken on a more significant role than ever before in the emerging digital library context because the effective organization of networked information clearly depends on the effective management and organization of metadata. The issue of metadata has been approached variously by different intellectual communities. The 2 main approaches may be characterized as: 1. the bibliographic control approach (origins and major proponents in library science); and 2. data management approach (origins and major proponents in computer science). The different conceptual foundations and orientations of the 2 major approaches contributing to the metadata discussion are examined.
