Abstract

Metadata is defined as data about data and information about information. Librarians have been involved with metadata creation and discovery since the pre-AACR2 and MARC era. In the digital age, the concept about metadata management has changed drastically. The modern library metadata should display entity relationships among data elements. They must be released from silos and be accessible through popular Internet search engines. The Semantic Web is the chosen technology to accomplish the above goal. FRBR, RDA, BIBFRAME, and Linked Data are a series of standards and technologies that will facilitate this process. Among many challenges ahead, libraries must reconcile the requirements of search engines and library metadata schemas and vocabularies.
