Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the status of children-specific metadata elements in theory (existing literature) and practice (metadata standards and children’s digital libraries). Literature reviews as well as two cases, including children’s online national libraries of Iran, and Singapore, are used to identify children-specific metadata elements and their application. The results revealed that descriptive metadata types had been mentioned more than analytical, social, and relational types; the DCMI metadata standard, besides LOM and ALTO metadata standards, can be used to develop an application profile for children’s library catalogs. Two cases showed that they partially cover children-specific metadata elements, and neither has covered relational metadata elements. A deeper analysis of the children-specific metadata elements suggests that children’s catalogs should be semantic and social. The results of this study can be insightful for children’s book catalogers and children’s book publishers (for marketing purposes).
理论与实践中的儿童元数据元素
本研究旨在探讨针对儿童的元数据元素在理论(现有文献)和实践(元数据标准和儿童数字图书馆)方面的现状。文献综述以及两个案例(包括伊朗和新加坡的儿童在线国家图书馆)被用来确定特定于儿童的元数据元素及其应用。结果表明,描述性元数据类型被提及的次数多于分析性、社会性和关系型元数据类型;除了LOM和ALTO元数据标准外,DCMI元数据标准还可用于开发儿童图书馆目录的应用程序概要。有两个案例表明,它们部分覆盖了特定于孩子的元数据元素,但都没有覆盖关系元数据元素。对特定于儿童的元数据元素进行更深入的分析表明,儿童目录应该具有语义性和社会性。这项研究的结果可以为儿童图书编目员和儿童图书出版商提供深刻的见解(以营销为目的)。
