The NISO Metasearch Initiative (NISO MI) has brought together librarians, content providers and library system providers in an attempt to develop common approaches to various aspects of the metasearch challenge, including the description of collections and services. In the area of collection description, NISO MI is building on work within the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative to develop an "application profile" for collection description. The work of the IESR project has provided a significant input to these activities, and this presentation will provide an update on their progress. |
