ABSTRACT

The need to provide trustworthy metadata and long-term access to digitised materials brings digital humanities projects close to fundamental concerns of archives and libraries. This chapter explores the possibility of creating a cross-domain metadata model that might enhance discovery and reliability of information across all three fields. We investigate the possibilities of harmonisation between the concepts of the information resource in two recent conceptual data models, IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) and Records in Contexts (RiC), using as the example a repository of digitised historical resources about one of the oldest Croatian bookstores. By choosing an example at the intersection of digital scholarship and library and archival practices, we explore metadata goals and objectives that should be taken into account while planning any digital heritage repository.
