MARC vs Dublin core

Bismillah...

Two standard methods of representing document metadata:-

1. MARC (machine-readable cataloguing) – developed in 1960’s at Library of Congress. It is a comprehensive and detailed standard whose use is carefully controlled and transmitted to librarians in library science courses. Producing a MARC record is governed by a detailed set of rules called AACR2R

2. The Dublin Core – minimalist standard intended to be applied to a wide range of digital library materials by people who are not trained in library cataloguing. A collaborative effort by a group of people. Named after Dublin, Ohio, where the first meeting was held in 1995. Received approval of ANSI in 2001. AACR2R for Dublin Core is called DC XML schema.
