 Coming Full Circle - 'Standard' Issue: Defining Standards and Protocols

The second standard is the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS), a highly flexible XML schema for packaging the descriptive metadata and various other important types of metadata needed to assure the use and preservation of digital resources.
It is appropriate for an XML version of MARC to be investigated since it is perhaps the oldest metadata standard designed for use in computers.
Since MODS is a subset of MARC, decisions were made about which elements to include, which to combine with others to form a single element and which to drop altogether.

 NETSL: Something Old, Something New: Looking at Standards
It is not unusual nowadays to encounter, at conferences and in the literature, overviews of the proliferation of metadata standards which now exist to serve diverse communities of interest, within the library world and well beyond.
Still, it is critical to develop tools for interoperability among standards, since it is not likely that the various library and information communities will be able (or actually ever need) to settle on single, shared standards for content, markup and structure.
When it comes to possible library uses, it is favorable to have a standard schema for describing and exchanging data regardless of the nature of the data, which system stored it, or how the receiving system will use it.

An example of a mapping between MARC and the Dublin Core is the Dublin Core tag Contributor.
A library may wish to extract the metadata found in a Dublin Core record, convert the data elements to MARC fields, and use the result as a skeletal cataloging record that could then be enhanced as needed.
