MARC is an acronym for Machine-Readable Cataloging and is the data structure for cataloging used by the vast majority of libraries in the United States and Canada. Developed by the Library of Congress in the 1960s, it became the standard for inputting records for all formats in library online catalogs. Because of its specific and well-defined field and subfield structure, it allows for easy sharing of catalog information by libraries that use MARC for cataloging. Archives holding broadcasting material that are associated with university and public libraries tend to catalog in MARC format since their parent organization (the library) uses MARC in cataloging more traditional holdings (books, periodicals, etc.). The latest version of MARC is called MARC 21.

There are several metadata specifications for LOs in the literature. Usually, metadata are defined by standards associations like IEEE (1484.12.1 Standard for Learning Object Metadata) and ISO (SC 36 WG 2 – Information Technology for Learning, Education, and Training), which have created working groups to develop proposals for object structuring and categorisation (metadata), aiming to support the proper recovery and reuse of LO cataloging. Thus, this metadata represents a way to organise data from LOs so as to allow communication between different computing environments, as well as accessibility and usability, and ensure interoperability. Some examples of specification standards are: LOM describes important LOs features with the purpose of facilitating the search and use of LOs for instantiation by learners and instructors or automated software processes (IEEE 2002).Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) focuses on the interoperability and reusability of LOs. SCORM introduced the complex idea of sequencing, which is a set of rules that specifies the order in which a learner should follow content objects (ADL 2004).Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) was developed by NISO (National Information Standards Organisation) and contains fifteen elements to describe learning resources (NISO 2007).
