Abstract

This section is entitled Traditional Communication Formats v SGML, Metadata, Dublin Core. Is there a
subject here that needs to be debated?
I hope to show that the two, the traditional and the more recent formats, are complimentary not adversary. But
to do this I need to explain why there is even a feeling that the traditional and the new might be opposed. I
need to explain why the question has been asked.
I am going to try and answer two questions: Do we still need MARC?; and Are MARC and the other 'formats'
competing for the same role?
