I'm a recent addition to the librarian's group and was
fortunate enough to attend DC8 in Ottawa. Although
I've worked with Dublin Core elements over the past
few years I'm only now taking a serious look at its
use in relation to MARC (most of my effort has been
towards search return and schema design). I'm
attempting to bring myself up to speed on the various
issues related to this topic: both its pros and cons.
If anyone has any resources they could direct me to or
have materials, comments, or opinions related to this
issue I would be very appreciative. Some specific
questions I'm looking at are:
Is DC in compatible with MARC functions? In what ways?
Are certain fields and qualifiers in DC more
applicable to traditional cataloging needs than
others?
What is the opinion of the DC community regarding
cataloging of electronic records (was Dublin Core
originally conceived as an alternative to MARC)?
What is the general consensus of the Librarian's
Working Group for using DC for cataloging?
Thank you,
Daniel Scott Angel Ph.D.
