Dear Colleagues,
 
In view of the IFLA Workshop I have created an Internet paper
concerning metadata under the title "The creation and integration
of metadata in spatial data collections" which gives an overview
and state of the art. You can find it under the URL:
 
http://www.konbib.nl/persons/jan-smits/ifla-97.htm
 
With it go the documents core.htm, isbd-el.htm, typology.htm and
unimarc.htm. All other hyperlinks are to notes or external
sources.
 
Under the URL
 
http://www.konbib.nl/persons/jan-smits/metadata.htm
 
you can find a bookmark file concerning metadata documentation
sources.
 
It is possible that the URL's may change in future but then I'll
send a notice to MAPS-L.
