One article in the latest edition of the Katherine Sharp Review is of relevance to the cataloguing and metadata communities:
[Winter 98] Cataloging for Digital Libraries: The TEI Scheme and the TEI Header: (to quote from the abstract) This article describes the uses and advantages of using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines for cataloging electronic texts. The TEI guidelines have been developed through an international and collaborative effort, and their applications in digital libraries such as the University of Virginia Electronic Text Center have required close collaboration between catalogers and humanities computing researchers. Detailed description and examples of the TEI header, a vehicle for meta-information written in SGML and the part of the TEI scheme most useful to librarians, are provided.
