Abstract

Presented is the metadata research and development in China. Beginning in the 1980s, the research project aimed at developing Chinese metadata standards, schemes, and specifications was first launched in 1997. Since then, many metadata-related projects have been conducted and completed. This paper summarizes the achievements of these projects, and introduces Chinese metadata standards, schemes, and specifications in digital libraries, archives management, and digital resources management in some specific domains. Specifically, it introduces a series of CDLS (Chinese Digital Library Standards) metadata standards based on Dublin Core (DC), the metadata standard for Chinese administrative electronic records, and gives an overview of Chinese metadata standards for digital resources in various specific domains. The paper attempts to draw a holistic picture of metadata research and development in China.
