New metadata schema - textMD

From the LC website:

textMD is a XML Schema that details technical metadata for text-based digital objects. It most commonly serves as an extension schema used within the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Schema (METS) administrative metadata section. However, it could also exist as a standalone document. In the future textMD can be used within the PREMIS element, additionalTechnicalCharacteristics, an extension for format-specific metadata within the PREMIS preservation metadata Object XML Schema version 2.0.

  • The focus of this blog is the future of cataloging and metadata in libraries. The new cataloging code, RDA: Resource Description and Access, is a significant issue. The future of the MARC 21 format will also be explored. ILS/OPAC's future will be touch on. Also, I hope to use this blog to collocate some of the important papers, articles, websites, etc. that deal with the future of cataloging and metadata.
