- This conference paper focuses on metadata within the system of scholarly communication. Metadata are nowadays a core issue in a number of different context, not only in the librarian environment. Talking about metadata, Anne Gilliland-Swetland used the metaphor "the sum total of what one can say about any information object at any level of aggregation." Metadata should not be considered digital information as cultural heritage and experts of information have always produced metadata but, so far, they were managed in traditional collections. Today, thanks to the emergence of digital information, metadata can be represented in different ways and formats and they are integrated within the digital library or in the documents of electronic journal or included in open archives providing access to scientific information. Metadata as a key word, implicit or explicit, in its different manifestations (such as integrated in protocols, expressed by standards in shared platform or presented in different formats) opens the way to a wider communication linking different worlds with different rules. It is important to pay attention to the migration of metadata through servers. This paper is the product of the debates raising from the working group of the latest Workshop on the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) and Peer Review Journals in Europe which took place in Gineve from the 22nd to the 24th of May, 2001. This paper deals with the aspects of metadata that are crucial for scholarly communication, for example the academic format of metadata in the platform OAI and the metadata used to evaluate the quality of intellectual contents.
