The purpose of this study is to analyze ISO/DIS 28560 and to cope with the current developments in library RFID technologies. The user data elements in part 1 and encoding rules in part 2 and part 3 of ISO/DIS 28560 are explored. In addition, a few corresponding cases regarding user data elements on ISO/DIS 28560 are investigated. Based on the corresponding cases, four user data elements are selected. They are , , , and . This study expects to allow fertile ground for discussion on the selection of user data elements in Korea.

Since libraries first used RFID systems in the late 1990's, there is growing debate about the advantages and disadvantages of HF and UHF RFID systems. This study tries to explore practical issues in HF and UHF RFID systems especially in the areas of system characteristics and advantages and disadvantages affecting technology implementation to libraries. This study investigates the current status of RFID systems in Korean libraries, and analyzes the best practices of four libraries(two libraries in HF and two libraries in UHF respectively). Also, this study describes functional characteristics of HF and UHF RFID systems, debates on frequencies in ISO/DIS 28560, and the opinions of both manufacturers which provide RFID systems to libraries and librarians who use HF and UHF RFID systems in their libraries.
