Abstract

Technological advances in recent years have enabled researchers to exchange ideas from almost any location on the globe. This possibility, and the availability of remote databases, has heightened the need for information to be in machine readable form. For machine readable information to be exchanged internationally it must be formatted in accord with accepted standards. In Korea the development of such standards must be accomplished in the context of a national information policy.
