Diane has been associated with library metadata standards, such as Dublin Core and RDA for many years. We discuss these and other standards and the recent meeting, held at the British Library which recommended the bringing together of work on RDA and DCMI. We also go on to discuss the work of the National Science Digital Library Metadata Registry, RDF and how the Semantic Web will influence library metadata and the way it is produced and shared.
