MARCXML Schema & Documentation Library of Congress- Standards

MODS

Metadata Authority Description Schema (MADS)
"...an XML schema for an authority element set that may be used to provide metadata about agents (people, organizations), events, and terms (topics, geographics, genres, etc.). MADS was created to serve as a companion to the Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS). As such, MADS has a relationship to the MARC 21 Authority format, as MODS has to MARC 21 Bibliographic -- both carry selected data from MARC 21. MADS is expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium."

MODS (Metadata Object Description Standard)
"Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) is a schema for a bibliographic element set that may be used for a variety of purposes, and particularly for library applications."
"As an XML schema it is intended to be able to carry selected data from existing MARC 21 records as well as to enable the creation of original resource description records. It includes a subset of MARC fields and uses language-based tags rather than numeric ones, in some cases regrouping elements from the MARC 21 bibliographic format."
"....as an extension schema to METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard)"

JISC- digital preservation briefing
" Metadata is a significant component of preservation. Metadata is data about data; it is vital for assuring the context of a resource, for documenting its provenance and authenticity and for enabling resources to be discovered. Metadata can also document the policies and processes used by a preservation service, eg detailing what transformations have taken place and providing a secure audit trail. Addressing metadata requirements in a written strategy, such as identifying required elements and selecting appropriate schemas, ensures that a consistent approach is developed and followed across the life cycle for all resource types.

Strategies will require frequent review to ensure the technical specifications remain compatible with emerging technologies. "
