Abstract

The article presents the basic function of union catalogues: ensuring interoperability of library metadata. The problem of metadata interoperability was defined as an element of cooperation of information systems, especially functioning in the network. The methods used to ensure interoperability were presented. Three technologies were described that should facilitate metadata interoperability in the future: NoSQL databases, cloud applications and Linked Open Data.
