Interopérabilité et convergence des pratiques de description à la Bibliothèque nationale de France

Data interoperability made possible by the development of the semantic web appears to be driving a convergence in descriptive practices at libraries, archives, and museums (LAM). According to the authors, the promotion strategy for the Charles Cros collection at the French National Library is a highly instructive example of this movement and its limitations, as well as a perfect illustration of the necessary changes in professional practices within the LAM community.
