Karen Coyle, Librarian and Consultant in the area of digital libraries
“Metadata is a Plural Noun”
Libraries have operated for over 150 years with a very singular view of
bibliographic metadata: the catalog record. In a new world of
interactive, networked information, the catalog record can no longer
stand apart if it is to serve information users. The focus must move
from the record to the data itself, and to the many contexts where
bibliographic data elements must be designed to interact with the online
information universe.
