These different contexts might have overlapping yet significantly different needs and workflows, each will use different aspects of the general bibliographic metadata modela variety of metadata models for resources.

Support Unforeseen Uses of Metadata

Bibliographic and management metadata is increasingly used in a variety of learning, teaching and scholarly communication (amongst others) contexts. We need to be mindful to create a model that supports unforeseen use by new applications.

...

We will expand on other areas of bibliographic \ holdings metadata and other forms of  metadata bibliographic and management metadata as the work progresses.

Initial Goals

...

• Support reference and copy cataloging

• Support external bibliographic metadata and management metadata knowledge bases

• Support a wide range of resource types

• Support a wide range of import and export formats and representations

• Support a wide variety of technology choices (both open source and commercial)

• Easily map existing catalogs to external bibliographic or subscription metadata

...

• Basic representation of physical monographs for circulation

• Ingesting of an existing inventory of physical monographs

• Basic representation of electronic journals or books (to be decided) and entitlements

• Bibliographic metadata read from an external Knowledge Base

• Holdings Management metadata read from an external Knowledge Base

...

In order to test the design of the interfaces involved in this process, it is prudent to integrate with a variety of existing systems. Choosing one open source system (e.g. GOKb) and one commercial system (e.g. EBSCO EPKB) could provide a good starting point for this.

Management metadata read from an external Knowledge Base

This work extends the integration with an external Knowledge Base to reading holdings management metadata (predominantly items and entitlements, but may also include package, platforms and subscriptions).

Conceptual Domain Model

...

Below is a partial and speculative conceptual domain model, intended to show many of the core aspects of bibliographic metadata resource metadata (mostly bibliographic and management) and to elicit feedback from the community.
