For information and with apologies for cross-posting.
A working group of the IFLA Cataloguing Section has produced a draft report
"Guidance on the Structure, Content, and Application of Metadata Records for
Digital Resources and Collections". The report contains a suggested "core"
set of the ten elements most commonly occurring in a range of metadata
schemas that could be used by authors or publishers to enhance resource
discovery.
IFLA has now put out an official call for a World-Wide Review of this
report. Both the invitation to participate and the downloadable PDF file of
the document itself can be found at:
