This document describes metadata in the form of a catalog, and these data elements are applicable to the process of resource acquisition, resource description, cataloging, retrieval, borrowing or copying by end users or institutions. This document includes data elements exchanged or potentially exchanged in bibliographic systems, and excludes data elements that are not exchanged or cannot be exchanged, nor data elements handled by transport protocols, but only data elements related to application-level protocols. As part of the integration phase, this document generally divides data elements into categories and subcategories and presents them in two orders, one according to categories and subcategories, and the other in alphabetical order. The alphabetical order includes examples and synonyms identified in the integration phase and found in relevant exchange protocols and patterns. Since the grouping of data elements may be different between different protocols and recording modes, data elements have been basically classified and grouped, but no further framework has been created. Likewise, the order of data elements, whether a data element is mandatory, and how it is formed and verified may vary according to the specific application, so such data element attributes are outside the scope of this document . It can be seen that with the development of new interoperability methods, some new data elements will continue to be generated, but the biggest changes usually exist in the way existing data elements are grouped. For example, regardless of whether a procurement transaction is conducted manually or electronically, the underlying data elements of that transaction—requester, supplier, and procured object—remain the same, and in fact most of the data elements in this document originated decades ago . To accommodate potential changes in the grouping of data elements, this document attempts to identify common concepts across processes. For example, focus on end-user delivery services and group various delivery methods so that purchase, borrowing, and interlibrary loan are offered as alternative processes. Therefore, identifying these common concepts across all processes is necessary for the development of seamless user interfaces.
