- Integrate MARC, DC, RDF, XML to full text
- Establish an electronic metadata link between publishers and National Bibliographical Agencies (NBA's) via an information agent (agency) or directly
- Technology application - the workflow for automatic indexation based on a form for the on-line cataloging from a full text (co-operation with Anopress information agency) generating DC metadata in the form of bibliographical description, XHTML, XML/RDF
- Establish an automatic management of the Co-operative System of Article Bibliography (COSABI)
- Disseminate gradually these methods into some institutions of the Co-operative System of Article Bibliography (COSABI)
- Integrate full texts into the Czech National Bibliography

The Application of Dublin Core Metadata Standard in UiTM Libraries for Kedah, Shah Alam, and Kelantan Campus: The Benefits
This research will be conducted from December 2004 until November 2005. This research will study in depth about the Dublin Core Metadata Standard and the possibility of implementing this system in generic organization of information for other type of printed and non-printed materials existed in UiTM libraries. This is in order to support the process of teaching, learning and researching for all staff and student at those three campuses. The objective of this research are as follows:
- The benefit of this system and the possibility of adopting Dublin Core Metadata Standard in UiTM libraries,
- Flexibility of this standard to be implemented in library system in order to allow data sharing throughout UiTM libraries for these three campuses,
- The standard usage level of complexity for it to be utilized by users either, lecturers, student and other staff.
The scope of this project will include a main campus and two branch campuses that are the main campus Shah Alam, followed by Sungai Petani campus, and Machang campus with an academic library. The planned limitation of work will include data collection work and the most suitable period to collect data. Furthermore, the policy that is going to be used in the research as a unit analysis is Dublin Core Metadata Standard.

WebArchiv
http://webarchiv.nkp.cz/index.html
The archive of Czech web resources (WebArchiv in Czech) has been built under the R&D project entitled "Registration of, preservation of and access to Czech resources available on the Internet". It has two main objectives: first, to catalogue online publications as a part of the national output and to integrate these records into the Czech National Bibliography database, and second, to store these publications in a deposit system in order to ensure long-term access to them. This pilot project is funded by the Czech Ministry of Culture. Duration: 2000-2001.
Worthington Memory

XMetaDiss
http://www.dissonline.de/tagungen/BKongress2004/Bibl-Kongress2004-Xmetadiss.ppt
Metadata for online theses and dissertations in Germany. Since 1998 a metadata set "MetaDiss", based on DCMS of 1998, has been used in Germany for interchange of metadata and corresponding full text of online university theses and dissertations. The great majority of German university libraries (73 of 100 possible ones) participate in this process.
In the project a metadata set "XMetaDiss" for online university theses and dissertations is being developed and will be defined by means of XML DTD as well as XML schema. This metadata set is supposed to relieve the set MetaDiss which is up to now embedded into HTML4. The potential of XMetaDiss consists in
- the use for an automatic compiling-process of metadata of online university theses and dissertations by OAI protocol
- the targeted compatibility with the NDLTD-set ETDMS
- the use of hierarchical patterns and the avoidance of allocation errors (up to now the allocation occurred only through the sequence of the elements)
- and the simple transformation potentiality by means of XSLT into other metadata formats, as ETDMS and DC simple.
The inclusion in an international framework, depending on sufficient agreement with libraries and library service centres in Germany, points to a high acceptance of a new metadata format for online university theses and dissertations, corresponding to the state of the art.
