The term "Metadata scheme" is used very broadly to cover cataloguing and database standards, frameworks, dictionaries and functional specifications which define, in whole or part, formal metadata relationships.

The following standards will be included in the project if resources permit.

Short name	Name	Standards body/governance	Standard type [1]	Primary domains/Resource category	Relevant vocabularies (approx no of terms) (C)=resource categories (R)=resource relators (P)=party relators
FRAD	Functional Requirements for Authority Data	IFLA	Metadata scheme	Libraries	(tba)
ISBD	International Standard Bibliographic Description	IFLA	Metadata scheme	Libraries	(tba)
UNIMARC	UNIMARC	IFLA	Metadata scheme	Libraries	(tba)
