Through a review of the evolution from metadata to metaverse,this article explores the development directions and trends of the semantic description of GLAM image resources,and proposes some strategies to further improve the theoretical framework of GLAM image resource semantic description. Based on some specific cases,it divides the semantic description of GLAM image resources into three phases:digitization,datafication,and digital intelligence. By sorting out the semantic description priorities at each different phase,it establishes a theoretical system for the evolution of GLAM image resource semantic description,focusing on the evolutionary motivation,purpose,phases,and outcomes. Thus,the study develops a spiral iterative evolution model for GLAM semantic description,highlighting the dynamic changes of resource types,data forms,descriptive perspectives,technical means,performance demonstration,and goal orientations in the evolution process. The results suggest that the current theory and practice of GLAM semantic description need to be further extended in terms of top-level design of guidance standards,establishment of a disciplinary discourse system,technical support for goal achievement,and the core task of uncovering unknown knowledge.
