ANSI/NISO Z39.87

ANSI/NISO Z39.87 is a standard that focuses on how to identify and describe digital resources, like articles, images, or datasets, in a consistent way. It provides guidelines for creating a system of metadata, which is information about those resources. This helps ensure that these digital items can be easily found, accessed, and understood by users and systems alike. The standard aims to improve the organization and sharing of digital content, making it more efficient for libraries, publishers, and researchers to manage and utilize digital information effectively.
