Abstract

In the current information environment around the library community, metadata is recognized as a sophisticated and powerful tool that can manage and represent information resources. However, with the discreet use of the concepts of metadata and metadata standard, there is no clear boundary that differentiates metadata standard from simple resource description and traditional bibliographic structure, leading to confusion as to what a metadata and metadata standard is. To consider these issues, this research discussed what metadata and metadata standards are based previous definitions of metadata. Based on those definitions, the fundamental concept of metadata is reestablished to be properly used in the library community.

현재의 정보환경에서, 메타데이터는 정보자원을 기술하고 관리하는데 있어서 강력한 도구로 인식되고 있다. 하지만, 그 적용의 광범위함으로 인해서 그리고 메타데이터가 지닌 복합적인 의미로 인해서 메타데이터가 무엇인지에 대한 명확한 설명이 어렵게 되었다. 이는 메타데이터를 단순한 서지기술이나 서지적 구조와 구분짓는 것을 어렵게 하고 있으며, 이로 인해 메타데이터가 무엇인지에 대한 혼란이 가중되고 있다. 이러한 개념적인 혼란을 없애고 메타데이터가 지닌 의미를 확인하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 메타데이터에 대한 정의에 기반하여 도서관계에 적용할 수 있는 메타데이터의 본질적인 개념을 재정립하였다.
