I wrote some time ago a study on digital libraries and there is something that keeps jumping thru my mind. Lot's of people are saying that there is a lack of standardization in the field. In some aspects I have to agree. On the other hand ... it looks like there are enough XML schema standards in the metadata area.
MODS is accepted in libraries and archives, and can easily conquer many other areas if needed...
PREMIS is really doing what it should in preservation ...
METS is already considered to be the universal glue in the library world ...
If you need anything specific you can add it as a finding aid and reference it.
Why should anybody need to design a different metadata architecture.
It looks like we have the standards ... I am missing anything?
