| Abstract | The traditional data storage in the library environment was done on cataloging cards. With the advent in the information technology field, most of the traditional data storage is being automated. New methodologies and paradigms have been shown to be efficient and helpful in the creation of these automated technologies. At the same time, the use of Internet is growing and its benefits can be harvested via its' proper use. The bibliographic information was limited to card catalogs or local databases in libraries. The study proposes an object-based model for the development and storage of bibliographic information. The study analyzes the basic requirements and creates a data storage model, which is furnished with attributes and operations. The proposed model is then applied and titivated to cover a small problem domain of Buddhist Manuscripts. The metadata used is mapped to the metadata provided by the Dublin Core community, increasing the accord between different sets of metadata. The study then provides an XML DTD for use in creation of documents that can then be transported with ease on the Internet. |
