Standards to facilitate information exchange has always been a subject of concern.
To provide a flexible exchange format that could be used for converting data from libraries and information services of all types, UNESCO developed the Common Communication Format (CCF). The main aim of this format was to produce a method of organising bibliographic descriptions which could be exchanged between institutions. This format was to act as a link between the databases produced in different internal formats of libraries.
This PPT contain details of Z39.50 and useful for Library Science students. This protocol used for information retrieval and in the end list of different types of protocols are given.

Library automation refers to the implementation of information and communications technologies (ICT) in the libraries and information centres for replacing manual library operations. The term automation is used for any process which is done through input and output operation. Library automation system includes maintenance of large bibliographical database. The status of library automation depends on Interaction between human and computer to accomplish various tasks of the library automation systems. In order to provide and also to enable the records in the database. The international standards for bibliographic description of library automation system uses sophisticated software tools and standard to index search and display information from the database created.
FRBR stands for Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is a conceptual entity-relationship model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
A conceptual entity relationship model that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogs and bibliographic databases from a user’s perspective.
A new conceptual model for bibliographic universe with a strong users focus .
The purpose of this entity relationship analysis was to discover the logical nature of bibliographic data in terms of entity, attributes and relationship.
The prime objective of any library is to meet the information requirements of its clients most effectively. To meet this objective, the library builds the collection in a planned manner and offers a variety of information services to inform the users what is available and whatever latest has been published in their areas of interest. All these services generate requests from the users for the original documents. The service that supplies the required document to the user on demand is known as Document Delivery Service.

Beyond Seamless Access: Meta-data In The Age of Content IntegrationNew York University
This was an example of meta-data research that I did before Dot-COM bubble hit the East Coast in 2000. Much of what we envisioned for content integration shaped the meta-data movement for today. Its full potentials have not reached yet, e.g. the level of intelligent data for semantic apps, personalized delivery, interactive and bidirectional-linking services, repurposed services, etc. It's the first of its kind weaving content from scholarly publications (particularly in the context of formal and informal communications) with library mission critical applications in authority control, meta-data, directory services, ILS, ILL, knowledge-base for site map, etc.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is a
data encoding and transmission specification, expressed in XML, that
provides the means to convey the metadata necessary for both the
management of digital objects within a repository and the exchange
of such objects between repositories. This common object format was
designed to allow the sharing of efforts to develop information
management tools/services and to facilitate the interoperable
exchange of digital materials among institutions. The METS XML
schema was created in 2001 under the sponsorship of the Digital
Library Federation (DLF), is supported by the Library of Congress as its
maintenance agency, and is governed by the METS Editorial Board.
4. History
As early as 1996 the University of California, Berkeley began
working toward the development of a system that combined encoding for
an outline of a digital object's structure with metadata for that object. In
1998 this work was expanded upon by the Making of America II project
(MoAII). An important objective of this project was the creation of a
standard for digital objects that would include defined metadata for the
descriptive, administrative, and structural aspects of a digital object. A
type of structural and metadata encoding system using an XML Document
Type Definition (DTD) was the result of these efforts. In 2001, a new
version of the DTD was developed that used namespaces separate from
the system rather than the vocabulary of the previous DTD. This revision
was the foundation for the current METS schema, officially named in April
of that year.
5. Characteristics of METS.
An open standard
Non-proprietary
Developed by the library community
Relatively simple
Extensible
Modular
7. Sections of a METS document
METS header metsHdr: Contains metadata
describing the METS document itself, such as its
creator, editor, etc.
Ex:- <metsHdr CREATEDATE="2006-05-09T15:00:00“ LASTMODDATE=”2006-05-
09T21:00:00>
<mets:agent ROLE="CREATOR" TYPE="INDIVIDUAL">
<mets:name>Rick Beaubien</mets:name>
</mets:agent>
<mets:altRecordID TYPE=”LCCN”>20022838</mets:altRecordID>
</metsHdr>
8. Descriptive Metadata dmdSec: May contain
internally embedded metadata or point to metadata
external to the METS document. Multiple instances of
both internal and external descriptive metadata may be
included.
Ex: <mets:mets>
<mets:dmdSec ID="DMD1">
<mets:mdRef MIMETYPE="application/MODS"
MDTYPE="MODS"/>
<mets:binData>[base 64 encoded data goes
here]</mets:binData>
</mets:dmdSec>
</mets:mets>
9. Administrative Metadata amdSec: Provides
information regarding how files were created and
stored, intellectual property rights, metadata
regarding the original source object from which the
digital library object derives, and information
regarding the provenance of files comprising the
digital library object (such as master/derivative
relationships, migrations, and transformations). As
with descriptive metadata, administrative metadata
may be internally encoded or external to the METS
document.
10. File Section fileSec: Lists all files containing content
which comprise the electronic versions of the digital
object. file elements may be grouped
within fileGrp elements to subdivide files by object version.
Although this section is not required, it is typically included
in most METS documents as it adds a level of functionality
to the structure of the document.
<mets:fileSec>
<mets:fileGrp USE="archive image"></mets:fileGrp>
<mets:fileGrp USE="reference image"></mets:fileGrp>
<mets:fileGrp USE="thumbnail image"></mets:fileGrp>
</mets:fileSec>
11. Structural Map structMap: Outlines a hierarchical
structure for the digital library object, and links the
elements of that structure to associated content files
and metadata. The Structural Map is the only section
required for all METS documents.
12. Structural Links structLink: Allows METS creators to
record the existence of hyperlinks between nodes in
the Structural Map. This is of particular value in using
METS to archive Websites.
Ex:- <mets:structLink>
<mets:smLink xlink:from="IMG1" xlink:to="P2" xlink:title="Hyperlink
from JPEG Image on
Page 1 to Page 2" xlink:show="new" xlink:actuate="onRequest"/>
</structLink>
13. Behavioral behaviorSec: Used to associate executable
behaviors with content in the METS object. Each behavior
has a mechanism element identifying a module of
executable code that implements behaviors defined
abstractly by its interface definition.
Ex:- <mets:behaviorSec>
<mets:behavior ID="disp1" STRUCTID="top" BTYPE="display" LABEL=
"Display Behavior">
<mets:interfaceDef LABEL="EAD Display Definition" LOCTYPE="URL"
xlink:href=”http://texts.cdlib.org/dynaxml/profiles/display/oacDisplayDe
f.txt”/>
14. Conclusion
The METS schema provides a flexible mechanism for
encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata
for a digital library object, and for expressing the complex links
between these various forms of metadata.� It can therefore
provide a useful standard for the exchange of digital library
objects between repositories. In addition, METS provides the
ability to associate a digital object with behaviors or services.
The above discussion highlights the major features of the
schema, but a thorough examination of the schema and its
included documentation is necessary to understand the full
range of its capabilities.
