Charge

The Task Force on Metadata is charged with, but not limited to:

  1. Analyzing resource-description needs of libraries, seeking input from interested librarians and discussion via the metamarda-l email reflector;
  2. Building a conceptual map (or maps) of the resource-description terrain/landscape and developing models for accessing/using metadata both within and outside the library community;
  3. Devising a definition of “metadata” and investigating the interoperability of newly emerging metadata schemes with the cataloging rules (AACR2R) and the USMARC format;
  4. Recommending ways in which libraries may best incorporate the use of metadata schemes into the current library methods of resource description and resource discovery; and
  5. Recommending, as needed, rule revision to enable interoperability of cataloging (with AACR2R) with metadata schemes.

The Task Force shall present CC:DA with interim reports at the 1999 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the 1999 Annual Conference, and the Midwinter Meeting in 2000. The final report of the Task Force shall be presented CC:DA at the Annual Conference in 2000 and shall be sent to the Chair of CC:DA no later than June 1, 2000.
