Metadata interoperability in libraries Metadata interoperability is increasingly accepted as something that libraries have to deal with. New challenges for libraries A new information environment Variety of resources Distributed locations Heterogeneous structures New challenges for libraries New library services – putting everything together New challenges for libraries New library system architecture WorldCat WorldCat achieves interoperability across geographically distributed library catalogues with a unique metadata system, MARC21. Centralized architecture. Z39.50 Z39.50 performs interoperability with decentralized architecture. 2. Metadata interoperability When we talk about interoperability in relation to metadata, we are generally talking about search interoperability, or the ability to perform a search over a diverse set of metadata records to obtain meaningful results. (Caplan, 2003) Levels of metadata interoperability Machine-understandable Machine-understandable 3. Two interoperability prototypes There are two basic mechanisms to achieve interoperability between metadata systems: mapping and integrating. Mapping is a process of matching original metadata systems to target metadata systems. It assigns a binary relationship between a pair of members in different metadata systems. Integrating is a process of combining different metadata systems together into a unique metadata system. The principle of the federating is integrating different metadata systems into one metadata system, both on the record level and the element level, and making them work together.
