Evaluating the suitability of KCR5 for the exchange and sharing of bibliographic data within the BIBFRAME and RDA
Cataloging rules as content standards and encoding formats based on the LRM conceptual model should be closedly interrelated to ensure effective representation of resources. Numerous studies have examined the mapping among these standards, including mappings from conceptual models to cataloguing rules, from cataloging rules to encoding format, and from conceptual models to encoding formats. Examples include studies on mappings between LRM and RDA, RDA and BIBFRAME, as well as between LRM and BIBFRAME. Last year, the Korean Cataloging Committee developed KCR5 (previous KCR4) based on the original RDA. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate the suitability of KCR5 for the exchange and sharing of bibliographic data within the BIBFRAME and RDA frameworks by mapping KCR 5 to both RDA and BIBFRAME.

Kongju National University
I graduated from Ewha Women's University, Korea, where I earned my bacelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. Since 2012, I have been teaching cataloging, metadata and classification at Kongju National University including courses such as RDA cataloging, non-book materials organization, metadata and DDC classification. My primary research interests initially focused on RDA and LRM conceptual model. More currently, I have develped a strong interest in BIBFRAME, which has the potential to replace the MARC format, and facilitate transformation of library bibliographic data into linked data.

Motivations for Participating in Biomedical Ontology Communities within Human-AI Collaboration
Authors: Jiwoo Seo
This paper presents a literature-based synthesis of motivations for participating in biomedical ontology communities, viewed as metadata infrastructures. As generative AI transforms ontology curation into human-in-the-loop workflows, human engagement becomes essential for ensuring metadata quality. Using Self-Determination Theory and Activity Theory, it identifies four themes—intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, community aspects, and human AI collaboration—and analyzes their impact on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Based on these themes, the study proposes practical implications for provenance-enhanced verification, quality-based incentives, and collaborative environments to sustain metadata quality and ongoing contributions.

Jiwoo Seo
Florida State University
Jiwoo Seo is a Ph.D. student and Research Assistant in Information at Florida State University, studying human-AI collaboration and ontologies. With an interdisciplinary background spanning library and information science and web science, her research examines how humans and AI systems collaborate. Previously, she worked as an NLP researcher in corporate AI labs and as an AI specialist librarian. At DCMI 2026, she presents a motivation-based conceptual framework applying Activity Theory and Self-Determination Theory to enhance user participation in metadata and biomedical ontology communities.
Multilingual Metadata: Aligning Digital Heritage Systems with Cultural Values
Authors: Robin Dresel, Pamela Low
Metadata systems traditionally prioritise technical efficiency over cultural authenticity. This paper examines how Singapore's National Library Board redesigned metadata practices for two major cultural heritage digital projects—the Encyclopedia of Singapore Tamils (EST) and Prominent Malays of Singapore (PMoS)—to align digital systems with community values.
Breaking from locally established conventions, we implemented largely monolingual metadata records, creating separate collection identifiers, language-specific navigation paths, and culturally-aware controlled vocabularies. This approach required overcoming technical constraints in content management systems designed for English-language dominant workflows.
Our methodology involved close collaboration with over 500 community contributors. Key innovations include collection name separation, multilingual controlled vocabulary integration, and community-driven category translation that reflects cultural mental models rather than literal translations.
Implementation demonstrates that separate monolingual metadata records can preserve cultural authenticity while maintaining system functionality. These approaches create valuable training data for AI systems working with multilingual cultural heritage, offering a replicable model for institutions seeking to align digital systems with diverse community needs rather than technical convenience.

Robin Dresel
National Library Board Singapore
Robin Dresel is Assistant Director, Metadata Services at the National Library Board Singapore, managing teams responsible for digital resources and non-purchase collections such as legal deposit, rare items, and donations. Drawing on over 20 years in libraries, he works at the intersection of cataloguing operations and technology, with a growing interest in how AI and system design can better serve diverse communities and collections. Recent studies in Digital Humanities sparked his curiosity about how humans and systems interact, and what that means for metadata practice.
