ARTICLE 1 Objectives
The objectives of the China-Japan-Korea Digital Library Initiative are to provide easy integrated
access on the Internet to the cultural and scientific heritage of the three countries, to enable
people to discover rich multilingual and culturally diverse contents and to contribute to the
academic world.
The China-Japan-Korea Digital Library Initiative (CJKDLI) is intended to enrich oriental culture,
promote the cultural diversity of Asia and contribution to Asia and world civilization.
Now, CJKDLI is at the Startling Line!

CJKDLI: The Key to Success
6
• Make CJKDLI Contents User-Friendly: Easy to Look-up and Use
• Manage CJKDLI Resources User-Friendly: Put Ourselves in the User’s
Shoes
• Ultimately, Good Communication Skill/Means is Required for Effective and
Efficient Communicating with the User and the Resources

• Metadata
• With everyday cataloging work, we may have forgotten the important fact
that the metadata is also the data.
• For this purpose, MDR can be the fundamental solution to the problem by
ensuring the interoperability between two systems or between information
and information.
– So far, we just have used one standard—MARC--and then applied mapping or
metadata crosswalk, but it was not the fundamental solution.
ISO 11179 Metadata Registry (MDR) -- (1)
8
• ISO/IEC 11179 specifies the kind and quality of metadata necessary to describe data, and it
specifies the management and administration of that metadata in a metadata registry
(MDR). It applies to the formulation of data representations, concepts, meanings, and
relationships between them to be shared among people and machines, independent of the
organization that produces the data. It does not apply to the physical representation of data
as bits and bytes at the machine level.
• In ISO/IEC 11179, metadata refers to descriptions of data. ISO/IEC 11179 does not contain
a general treatment of metadata. ISO/IEC 11179-1:2004 provides the means for
understanding and associating the individual parts of ISO/IEC 11179 and is the foundation
for a conceptual understanding of metadata and metadata registries.

Why MDR?

• Back to the Basic
• Classification
• Concept: Intension (connotation), Extension (denotation)
• With the recent discussion about semantic Web and ontology, the
importance of MDR has once again come to the fore.

Conclusion
16
• CJKDLI should be a better project than another new digital library
where the user can access to the digital heritage of the Asia on the
Web.
• CJKDLI will make it possible for the users all over the world to see the
Asian culture with the philosophy of Asians.
• If CJKDLI is able to show “HOW” Asians feel and express differently
than Westerners when they see the same color or object, then I think it
will be a real success.
