Abstract:
"In order to investigate patterns of representation and treatment of bibliographic, archival
and museum documents, with the perspective of integrated retrieval of digital cultural
collections, the research is developed within a memory institution, in the face of controversies
and efforts between these areas to integrate their metadata without giving up their prerogatives.
The issue goes through issues beyond administrative decisions, as it also concerns the potential
to meet a range of users' needs and the nature of the holdings. Given the advent of digital
technology, this problem has been increasing in modern information systems, but studies point
to solutions aimed at the interoperability of information retrieval systems. In this sense, the
concept of document and digital document of bibliographic, archival and museological nature
are studied; the converging and diverging points; and the standards of representation applied in
the institutional repository. From the analysis of the Dublin Core elements used by the areas,
common elements and qualified convergent elements are identified. In a second and third stages
of the analysis, the convergence of EAD and LIDO elements in relation to Dublin Core is also
performed, in order to constitute the application profile. Thus, integrated retrieval is proposed
through the elaborated application profile, considering that it makes it possible for users to
discover information and integrated access to bibliographic, archival and digital museum
collections."
