Metadata is the media to describe the management and storing of kind of knowledge and well-preserved objects. Thus, with the compatibility of all various metadata, we can integrate related knowledge and with unification and management of information system. This paper introduces a system using the XML framework to be compatible with various metadata schemas, using the DTDs of XML to define the system schema structure, allowing more than one DTDs to exist. Therefore, it meets the demand of processing multi different types of co-existing metadata. And, through the definition of accessing points connection and consistent inquiry function, the system make it possible to inquire different types of metadata. More importantly, the metadata will be easily accessed by other systems.
