Impact IPR Issues in Metadata Application in Digital Scenario

This paper discuss about the digital libraries, Intellectual Property Rights and Metadata. In this paper we discussed about how to save digital objects using metadata standards, mostly two standard MARC 21 and Dublin Core metadata are used widely for digitization, there is an example of two libraries just for understanding that which type of metadata scheme they adopt and how it works. Once Metadata standard is determined on the digital resources, the seamless accessibility of the resources is possible. It¿s led to the IPR in digital resources, if the standard of metadata is diversified, then the accessibility will be rigid. And that rigidness led to duplication of digital resources material. The repeated duplication of digital material costs more time and money. So, the role of metadata in digital materials cannot be avoided. This is the finest time when we confined the uniform metadata application in digital resources.
