10. More meta-information
– Versioning / history
– Set of rules / cataloging code
– Chronological validity
– Language of the element
– Script of the element
– Romanization scheme used for the element
– . . .

11. MARC 21
– Record-wide: 040 "Cataloging Source"
– Subfields $5 (partly), $q (very few): "who"
– Field 883 "Machine-generated Metadata Provenance"
– Field 884 "Description Conversion Information"

12. Use case: Non-Sorting Part of Title
| 14 | Future Metadata Format | March 3rd, 201612
MARC:
245 04 $aDer A-Faktor
245 00 $a<NSB>Der<NSE> A-Faktor
ONIX:
<TitlePrefix>Der</TitlePrefix>
<TitleWithoutPrefix>A-Faktor</TitleWithoutPrefix>
MODS:
<titleInfo><nonSort>Der</nonSort> A-Faktor
</titleInfo>

13. Alternative Solution
| 14 | Future Metadata Format | March 3rd, 201613
<bf:title xml:lang="de">
Der A-Faktor
</bf:title>
