METADATA CORE SETS FOR AUTOMATIC DELIVERY

The "Metadata - Core set - Definitions" contain the semantic and syntactic definitions of a minimum core set of metadata elements for the delivery of metadata of electronic resources to the German National Library. It covers monographs, university dissertations and journals.

Automatic submission procedures are currently only offered for monographs with the ONIX for Books metadata standard. Work is currently being carried out to implement use of this standard for the delivery of journal submissions (articles, volumes).

From XMetaDiss to XMetaDissPlus

Under the extended statutory deposit obligation for publications from institutional and specialist repositories, the XMetaDiss format of this standard has been expanded to XMetaDissPlus. The limitation of XMetaDiss to dissertations and post-doctoral theses is withdrawn. The scope has been extended by means of a "Common vocabulary of publication types" to include types of documents such as pre-prints, essays, research reports etc. There are two delivery procedures for university dissertation and thesis publications: the web form and the OAI interface.
