XML/RDF在圖書館元數據MARC中的應用描述

目前圖書館廣泛存在的MARC數據格式是經過嚴格限定和檢驗的數據流格式，無法通過Internet瀏覽和檢索，嚴重制約了這些數據的利用。本文提出采用基于XML/RDF技術的MARC元數據描述方法，為現(xiàn)有的大量存在的MARC書目數據庫與Internet上其它非書目數據庫的信息集成成為可能，解決了專用的MARC數目數據向機器可理解的通用的元數據轉換的問題。

Abstract: In this paper, considering the large amount of MARC metadata in numerous library systems, we present the MARC metadata description approach based on XML/RDF. We mainly solve the problems on the MARC metadata description based on XML and RDF respectively. It enables the possibility of the conversion from the MARC specific format
metadata to the general machine-readable and machine-understandable metadata. The achievements of our research will contribute to thee existing MARC metadata utilization in digital library in the future.
