Worthington Memory is a digital library of local history materials commemorating the Worthington Bicentennial in 2003. This collaboration between Worthington Libraries and the Worthington Historical Society will include a call to community organizations and individuals to contribute content. This presentation will highlight a practical application of Dublin Core, including the selection of a metadata scheme and middle wear application, Web interfaces, and project implementation. It will conclude with a tour of the site, which is powered by Dublin Core.

Metadata schemas for resource description such as Dublin Core and LOM (Learning Object Metadata) and domain specific markup languages such as MatML (Materials Property Data Markup Language) or CML (Chemical Markup Language) have evolved dramatically during the last five years. Much of this development, however, has been a parallel evolution. There often has been no clear indication of how resource level metadata can be integrated most effectively with domain-specific content markup or with structural markup describing the internal architecture of resources. This presentation will review available metadata standards and markup language standards, analyze the functions of each mechanism in dealing with different digital collection: data, text-based information, non-text-based and non-document-like resources.
