The key to the system design is metadata: extracting and mapping, transforming, and managing the processing of MARC\u2010based metadata into non\u2010MARC schemes to build digital collections. Other relevant CMS architecture issues discussed are the design of a functional bibliographic structure and utilities for metadata harvesting and indexing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Provides information on the use of the Dublin Core Abstract Model and a flexible and adaptable collection\u2010centric approach in the overall CMS architecture as implemented on a non\u2010MARC RDBMS, and provides an explanation of the advantages of an object oriented database system over the complexity of evolving relational database tables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>A useful source for the development of an in\u2010house CMS, and a contribution to the growing body of literature about the transformation of MARC\u2010based metadata for database design.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper is a case study of actual work conducted at the University of Maine Library.
