Problems of providing metadata for websites

Abstract

It is the aim of the web archiving pilot project of the National Széchényi Library to lay the ground for a future national internet archive. This includes establishing how to catalogue this resource type. The task is not easy. The descriptions should reflect the unique nature of this resource, while be interoperable with the descriptions of traditional library resources. This article summarizes ongoing work to restructure and enrich the current metadata structure of the web archive.
