Problems of Cataloging Materials
• The progress of digitization is only limited due to copyright issues• Less of cataloging experts• It takes time to complete cataloging• The classification of related material is formalized for each
domain

Assumed Requirements for Describing Related Materials• Owned Materials can be registered• A Simple metadata schema for the various resources description• To define “Collection Class”• For providing access of non-cataloged resources
• Relationships with the work/agent authority of MAG • Non of data integration for Inter-institutional items• Classify the type of materials by the field
